Another resounding success for director Paul King, Wonka is a charming and enjoyable big screen ride that deserves to be this year's most resounding holiday hit.

Variety

Chalamet plays the title character as the beaming soul of effervescent goodness. His chocolate passion is there, but the kinks are gone; so is any trace of a dark side.

Los Angeles Times

See it and enjoy it for what it is: a playful, heart-tugging take on a beloved character that's smarter than it lets on.
