Wonka Review

‘Wonka’ turns back the clock for an origin story starring Timothée Chalamet. ‘Paddington’ director Paul King here brings his trademark charm and creativity to what could have been an unnecessary addition to the story.

In theaters on December 15th, ‘Wonka’ is the latest look at a character at a younger age, aiming to explain how Willy Wonka ended up running his wondrous candy factory, as seen in 1971’s ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’ and 2005’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, both adapted from the work of British writer Roald Dahl. Under director Paul King, it’s a musical origin story, featuring one of the most popular young actors and a cast loaded with comedy and dramatic talent.
