Ava DuVernay, a black activist who directed a whole movie arguing that mass incarceration (a multi-racial problem) is a continuation of race-based slavery, suggested that racism explains why her latest movie, "A Wrinkle in Time," got bad reviews.
DuVernay gave a back-handed compliment to Vulture's Kyle Buchanan, who wrote about the "subtle, resonant" theme of the black main character's insecurity about her hair. "You were the only Caucasian journalist of any gender to see it, understand it and seriously ask me about it. Appreciate the chat, the sensitivity and the writing," the director tweeted.
"A Wrinkle in Time" has a "rotten" 42 percent rating among reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes. Many mass-market films have negative reviewer scores but positive audience ratings, but not this movie.
The audience rating proved even worse for "A Wrinkle in Time," at a tragic "rotten" 36 percent.

Opra is the Wrinkle in Time !!!
Let me think....maybe it's because you took God out.
I would never ever support anything associated with Oprah. Talk about racist ....
Segregation will solve all of it
Even the book sucked. No surprise here.
Movie sucked. It has terrible actors.
People did not like it, so that means they are racists? Shut the hell up. Sick and tired of all the belly aching. Mostly blacks went to see it, so how do you make it the white peoples fault? Wow, such ignorance.
:Ava DuVernay, a black activist who directed a whole movie arguing that mass incarceration (a multi-racial problem) is a continuation of race-based slavery, . . . ". So the majority of crimes in America being committed by blacks has nothing to with them being jailed? It because we whites put blacks in jail for no reason? You need to get a brain, fool. Wow, how stupid can you be?
