'Wonka' review: What a wishful, whimsical, wholesome, warmhearted wonder


Timothee Chamalet shines as a young Willy Wonka in this prequel to the Roald Dahl classic Charlie And the Chocolate Factory.

What a wishfully whimsical, winningly wholesome, and weirdly warmhearted wonder Wonka is. And what a cheekily charismatic charmer that Chalamet chap is.

This prequel to the Roald Dahl classic story Charlie And The Chocolate Factory begs you to banish all thoughts of Willy Wonka played by Johnny Depp in a top hat and bowl haircut, and instead, be swept away by the sweet, saccharine sensation of Timotee Chamalet and his sparkling smile.
