What is Wonka the movie about?

This 2023 movie tells the magical story of how Willy Wonka, a beloved character from Roald Dahl's famous book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, came to be. Led by Timothee Chalamet, the movie takes us on a journey through the early adventures of a wannabe chocolatier.

It happened way before the famous chocolate factory came into existence. As the young and broke Willy immerses himself in the world of chocolate, he accidentally discovers a group of greedy chocolatiers.

The movie also tells the story of when he meets the quirky Oompa-Loompas. It's rated PG for some action, a bit of language and some deeper themes. Wonka finds a nice mix of imagination and real life, though.

Is the new Wonka movie good?

Hugh Grant plays an Oompa-Loompa in the movie.

The movie has been getting mostly good reviews from both critics and viewers. It's being marketed as a fun musical for the whole family, and people love its amazing visuals and catchy songs, which make the movie even more enjoyable.

People say that the movie is charming, and what sets it apart is that it's not as weird as the other movies based on Roald Dahl's books. According to various reviews, including The Pioneer Press:

"Although it is not overbearing with songs and dance, so if you’re someone who does not enjoy musicals, this movie is still worth the watch."

The film has received praise for the most part

The Vulture describes it as:

"It never reaches the singularly compelling strangeness of the source material, but it lands somewhere close enough to be mostly satisfying."

The Guardian labels it:

"At times, his films can venture a little too far towards a quirky, Etsy shop aesthetic, but for the most part, the alchemic King’s approach continues to create gold. ... an endlessly, intricately charming treasure trove of a movie."

While some people may find it a little too much, Noodle's character nails it with their graceful performance. Even though opinions differ, most agree that it's a pretty satisfying movie experience.
