Given that A Wrinkle in Time hasn’t been well received, shouldn’t that put an end to this idea that critics will like anything solely on the grounds of if it empowers women or non-whites?

Let's be completely honest here. If movies like WW or BP were bad, no amount of PC agenda would have made them successful. If you need proof just look at the recent Ghostbusters. That was clearly pushing a feminist agenda AND was highly praised by critics. Still flunked.

A large part of WW and BP being successful is due to the fact that they were actually pretty good movies. Maybe even great movies.

But, if we were to be completely honest, we should also admit that their sales and praise were helped in no small part by PC motivations. It is not the major factor in them being successful, but it certainly helped bloat both their praise/ratings and their BO income.
