Wonka revolves around
the origin of Willy Wonka (played by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp earlier). Set in
the mystical land which feels real due to the excellent production design makes
it the best film to take the kids to this week.
Timothee
Chalamet does a good job as the young Wonka under the deft direction of Paul
King. The supporting cast is good with veterans like Rowan Atkinson and Olivia
Colman giving good performances and Hugh Grant as an Oompa-loompa being the
highlight. Keegan-Michael Key is easily the funniest of the lot.
Willy
Wonka – chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable
bite at a time – is proof that the best things in life begin with a dream, and
if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.
Wonka
features some really well-choreographed musical sequences. The cinematography
is excellent making the film look grand. However, the VFX could have been better and the
film could have done with some betting editing as it slows down a little in the
middle ruining the momentum.
Catch
Wonka on the biggest screen with your kids and family, and you’ll be in for a
pleasant surprise.
