“‘Family’ is a gorgeous looking film with framing and editing that is often exquisite. It boasts a palette of rich earth tones and vivid dark colors that are beautiful but oppressive, much like the film itself.”

“‘A Wrinkle in Time’ is for kids, and I mean ‘made for kids’ in the supportive definition rather than the usual lazy and disparaging connotation that’s carelessly applied to more lukewarm family films.”
