Critics Consensus

A Wrinkle in Time Lacks Magic

Plus, Gringo and The Strangers: Prey at Night don't offer many laughs or scares, and season 2 of Jessica Jones is Certified Fresh.


This weekend at the movies, we have the Oprah tesseract club (A Wrinkle in Time, starring Storm Reid, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling), a Mexican misadventure for David Oyelowo (Gringo, co-starring Charlize Theron), one very bad night at the trailer park (The Strangers: Prey at Night, starring Bailee Madison and Christina Hendricks), and some bank robbers who’ve been saving for a rainy day (The Hurricane Heist, starring Maggie Grace and Toby Kebbell). What are the critics saying?
