Ava DuVernay invites male directors ‘feeling discriminated against’ to go ahead and sue her

Ava DuVernay is going to hire women, whether male directors like it or not. And if they don’t? Well, they can go ahead and sue her.
While accepting the Woman of Vision award during Thursday’s Gloria Awards, the Wrinkle in Time director told the audience that she’d once received a call from a male director during which he told her “there [had] been some complaints” about her favoring female directors for her show, Queen Sugar. Her own damn show!
But that classic male audacity didn’t phase DuVernay. “Thank you, friend, thank you for that call,” she said, per Vanity Fair. “I invite you to tell whoever is feeling discriminated against to sue me so that I can sue every studio that has left women out. Because we can do this, if that’s what you want to do.” Read more…

‘A Wrinkle in Time’ is for all the girls who feel like they’re too much for this world

Meg Murry isn’t cool. And she isn’t uncool in a secretly-cool way, like how teen girl protagonists from Belle to Katniss to Lady Bird are just too clever, too rebellious, too idiosyncratic, too real for their oppressively humdrum towns.
She is smart, and she can be brave and kind, but mostly she’s just an ordinary sort of adolescent misfit – the kind that wishes more than almost anything that she could be someone else. Someone prettier, maybe, or sweeter or more popular or less angry. Less too much.

The first screenings for Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time took place on Tuesday, and the reaction has been – well, kind of absent. That isn’t to say that reactions are particularly bad, but for the most part, critics and audiences have stayed silent.
First of all, a quick recap – before a film’s wide release, distributors will host early screenings for VIPs, press, and sometimes members of the public. Following that, there are official embargo dates – one for social media reactions, one for official reviews. You can usually gauge a film’s quality based on how many screenings there are, how far out they are from the release, and when the embargoes lift. Read more…
