Timothée Chalamet plays the title role of the film “Wonka”, which returns to the origins of Roald Dahl’s incredible chocolatier, in a film released in cinemas this Wednesday, December 13.
How did Willy Wonka become the famous chocolatier who distributes golden tickets and changes young Charlie’s life in the novel by Roald Dahl ? This is what the musical film Wonkareleased in cinemas this Wednesday, December 13, will reveal to the public who will go to the cinemas.
After Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp, it’s Timothée Chalamet (Dune, Call me by your name) who launches into the interpretation of the fanciful chocolatier, in his youth. And the critics were seduced by this feature film directed by Paul King, to whom we owe the two Paddington films.
In the film’s cast, we also find several figures of British cinema, such as Hugh Grant in the shoes of the irresistible Oompa Loompa, Matt Lucas, Rowan Atkinson, Sally Hawkins, Olivia Colman but also the actors Calah Lane and Keegan-Michael Key.
Wonka
Released Wednesday December 13, 2023
A simple salesman in a chocolate factory, an ambitious young man decides to give himself the means to finally realize his dream of opening his own shop.
For the parties, Wonka offers a musical tale that should bring families together, according to the press. Wonka is thus “a charming musical full of tasty ideas” (Télérama), “wise and childish” (Le Figaro) “an enthusiastic, family and very sweet film” (La Voix du Nord).
The specialized magazine Première praised “a superb pure sugar musical comedy” which fully embraces its ambition, “often hilarious”. For its part, Le Monde finds that Wonka “delights with its attention to detail and lightness” and praises Timothée Chalamet’s performance as “optimistic and energetic”, when GQ invites the public to “enjoy what is undoubtedly the sweetest story on screen from that of a little bear wearing a duffle coat” (in reference to Paddington).
From what age can you watch the film? Wonka ?
According to these opinions, Wonka seems like the perfect film to watch with your children over the Christmas holidays. Familyscope recommends the film for ages 7 and over, while the United Kingdom has rated the film “PG”, meaning it is suitable for ages 8 and up.
