After spending seven years at sea, Willy Wonka (played by Timothée Chalamet) decides to leave the ocean and start a new life in a city. A talented chocolate maker, Wonka dreams of opening a new chocolate shop. However, upon arriving in town, he quickly runs out of money. A local villager, Mrs. Scrubbit (played by Olivia Colman), offers him a place to stay. Unfortunately, as Wonka can't read, he is tricked into signing a contract that obligates him to perform various tasks. Despite Mrs. Scrubbit's deceit, Wonka remains optimistic and continues to make chocolate whenever he can. When word gets out about Wonka's plan to open a store, three cruel chocolate sellers do whatever it takes to ensure he fails. They bribe the Chief of Police with large portions of chocolate. Thankfully, Wonka isn't alone in this battle. Noodle, who works for Mrs. Scrubbit also hopes for freedom and teams up with Wonka. An exciting adventure awaits them both—a tale filled with dreams, imagination, and tasty chocolate. "Wonka" serves as a prequel to "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971). Directed by Paul King, best known for his work behind the camera in the family hit films "Paddington" and "Paddington 2," "Wonka" delivers a lively, touching, fun, and perfect movie for family audiences. Timothée Chalamet is no Gene Wilder, and no one could ever be. Thankfully, we get an excellent and likable performance from Chalamet and a different interpretation of the popular character. He’s lively, energetic, and likes tasty chocolate; he’s also sweet, making it nearly impossible not to like him. Many great side characters throughout the story, including Hugh Grant, Keegan-Michael Key, and Olivia Colman, make the film continually exciting. Overall, Wonka is a delightful prequel filled with a touching and heartfelt story of where Wonka’s dreams were born and the challenges of bringing them to reality. The musical numbers are joyous, with stunning creativity and fun visuals throughout. Thankfully, this isn't just a Wonka story. There are many side characters who, like the lead, are equally entertaining and deliver terrific performances. Like freshly made chocolate, Wonka has all the right ingredients. It's nothing but a boost of utter sweetness and happiness. * This review has been written for Sanity.
