Featured review
Enjoyable but flawed
This film has some charming and creative elements but essentially all the great parts came from mining Roald Dahl's creativity and not from original thoughts. This origin story didn't really many details of Wonka's past or tell an interesting or nuanced story. A young Wonka is thwarted by over-the-top enemies who are outrageously cruel.
There were too many songs and too many attempts at heartfelt 'Disney' moments that would surely have made Dahl cringe.
There was a totally unnecessary subplot involving corrupt priests that could only be seen as a vulgar attack on the Catholic Church.
Chalamet was very good in the title role and Olivia Coleman delivered the sought of broad comedy she was known for before her surprising Oscar triumph in The Favourite. Hugh Grant, and his clipped English accent, made the Oompa Loompa character amusingly memorable.
There was too much focus on the Noodle character. Oodles of Noodle was too much.
Just watch the 1971 version. It's the best.
