Review of Wonka

Wonka (2023)
10/10

I've just come home from watching Wonka at the cinema. Bit of an emotional wreck. Such a lovely film.

I've always loved the Gene Wilder version since a child. There are so many nods to that version. Timothee Chalamet is a young Gene Wilder. But a softer version. He has the same magic and charm as Gene Wilder.

I spent a lot of the movie with tears rolling down my face. Especially when Timothee sings "Pure Imagination".

There are some amazing scenes. Especially when they are dancing over the rooftops of London.

Hugh Grant is just so brilliant and funny as an Oompa Loompa.

This film just blew me away.

It is utter movie magic.

It has everything. A heart warming, tear jerking, show stopping, pure imagination, whale of a ride.
