The latest big Disney film, A Wrinkle in Time, had its premiere Monday night (ahead of its theatrical release on March 9), with the social media embargo lifting not long after. And what’s notable this time around is that the reactions appear to be much more mixed than usual for these sorts of events.
In recent years, a certain ritual has taken place whenever a major film, especially one in the Disney stable, has its early premiere.
While actors, directors and other performers have generally praised A Wrinkle in Time, critics and journalists haven’t been quite so kind in the Twitter reactions so far.
The latest film from the director of the Oscar-nominated Selma and 13th, A Wrinkle in Time has been noted as the largest-budgeted film ever directed by a woman of color.
