A delectable feast for the soul has arrived just in time for the holidays!

Directed by Paul King – who also co-wrote the film with Simon Farnaby – comes the story of how Willy Wonka goes from a young adult selling chocolate in a small shop to an eccentric genius known all over the world.
Wonka
stars Timothée Chalamet in the title role, along with newcomer Calah Lane and an ensemble cast including Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, Tom Davis, Olivia Colman, and Hugh Grant.
It’s no surprise the film shares similar positive traits that
Paddington 2
exudes considering both films share the same director and writers.
Wonka
is not just a grand whimsy feast for the eyes but also a sentimental wholesome treat for the heart!
The determination and unwavering optimism of the titular character is only made more captivating thanks to the charm and charisma of its lead. Chalamet’s command and take on Wonka brings to life a fresh iteration of the character for a new generation. His eclectic performance further cements himeself as one of the finest performers of his time.
While it may seem
Wonka
depends on its main character to shoulder the film, the supporting actors pull their weight with scene-stealing performances peppered throughout the film–from Lane’s Annie-like Noodle and Joseph’s villainous Arthur Slugworth to Key’s Chief-of-Police and Colman’s Mrs Lovett-inspired Mrs Scrubbit but especially Atkinson’s chocolate-loving Father Julius. The accumulated time for the legendary comic's return to the big screen may only amount to mere minutes but he makes the most of every second.
Having not being marketed as a musical, it was a delightful surprise for this musical-loving writer to witness when the film begins with Wonka belting an opening number, setting tone and expectations from the get-go. Chalamet’s singing talent may not match up to his acting prowess but his charismatic energy makes the musical numbers work. There are multiple parallels the film shares with other musicals – namely
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
and
The Greatest Showman
to name a few – but none of the songs make for this to be the selling point of the film, safe for the previously established song "Pure Imagination" that debuted in
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
(1971). It is, however, easy to look past this as
Wonka
offers more to be amazed by than its music.
Adding to the film’s holistic success is the attention to detail on
Wonka
’s costume and production design. The great sceneries and vibrant colours lend to the magic of the film’s world-building, allowing its viewers to feel immersed in a world of pure imagination.
If every good thing in the world started with a dream then
Wonka
is one magnificent dream we don't want to wake up from.
