Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet was praised for his ‘charming, pitch-perfect performance’ as Willy Wonka by critics finally permitted to share their early opinions of the ‘surprisingly good’ origin tale via X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n
‘#Wonka is a super charming delight powered by an exceptional & pitch-perfect performance from Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet,’ Collider senior producer Perri Nemiroff wrote.<\/p>\n
‘It can get quite silly and there’s a few plot points that are a tad on the thin side, but that couldn’t stop such an impossibly sweet film with a hefty & very effective dose of sincerity from warming my heart.’<\/p>\n
Gizmodo senior reporter Germain Lussier wrote that the 27-year-old Oscar nominee was ‘reason alone to see’ Paul King’s $125M-budget musical fantasy.<\/p>\n
‘He’s infinitely charming [and] a blast to watch,’ Lussier tweeted.<\/p>\n

‘The movie around him isn’t as good but it’s enjoyable. The story & tone fight against each other leaving it a bit muddled. And yet it’s filled with joy & the songs are delightful.’<\/p>\n
Variety\/The A.V. Club film critic Courtney Howard called Wonka ‘a winning confection, filled with perfect amounts of charm, whimsy & poignancy, powered by pure imagination & bright, nimble musical numbers.’<\/p>\n
‘Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet is a charisma factory. His full committal is intoxicating,’ Howard added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0‘Hugh Grant [as an Oompa-Loompa] in exceptional IDGAF mode.’<\/p>\n
IndieWire chief film critic David Ehrlich simply wrote: ‘Wonka good. Paul King king.’<\/p>\n
Vanity Fair critic Richard Lawson was also a man with few words, tweeting: ‘WONKA is, in fact, good.’<\/p>\n
Bleeding Cool editor-in-chief Kaitlyn Booth said it took her ‘by surprise with how much’ she liked Wonka.<\/p>\n
‘It’s whimsical and taps into that sense of wonder we got from the original while doing its own thing,’ Booth tweeted.<\/p>\n

‘Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet channels the energy of Gene without doing an impression. Great family film for the holidays.’<\/p>\n
TheWrap film reporter Scott Mendelson wrote: ‘I was not expecting #Wonka to be the most realistic movie about human trafficking opening in wide theatrical release this year. Not a criticism, but also not a joke.’<\/p>\n
Mendelson’s colleague at TheWrap, Drew Taylor, called Wonka ‘a delicious confection, at times salty, at times sweet, but always visually dazzling and emotionally rich.’<\/p>\n
‘Paul King once again proves that he is one of our most exciting filmmakers, creating a world unafraid to go to the dark, strange places that Roald Dahl would,’ Taylor tweeted.<\/p>\n
Roger Ebert associate editor Robert Daniels ‘surprisingly, mostly, enjoyed WONKA’ and called Timoth\u00e9e ‘a really gifted comedic actor, smartly leveraging his star persona for laughs.’<\/p>\n
‘The staging is good and there’s lots of heart and whimsy. I did not however like the barrage of fat jokes. Poor form in a delightful film,’ Daniels scoffed.<\/p>\n
Variety senior artisans editor Jazz Tangcay called Wonka ‘visually delightful’ and gave a special ‘shout out’ to production designer Nathan Crowley: ‘His world building is fantastical in every way.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fandango managing editor Erik Davis posted the lengthiest review about the ‘sweet and sincere’ film not unlike Paul King’s Paddington films.<\/p>\n

The origin tale on Willy Wonka – based on Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – hits UK theaters December 8 and US theaters December 15<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wonka also features Hugh Grant (pictured), Keegan-Michael Key, Matt Lucas, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman, and newcomer Calah Lane<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chalamet earned $9M to portray the titular character after beating out Tom Holland, Donald Glover, Ezra Miller and Ryan Gosling for the role<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the boyfriend of Kylie Jenner braved London’s 40F-degree weather wearing a berry-colored velvet Tom Ford SS\/24 womenswear suit sans shirt for the Wonka premiere held at Royal Festival Hall<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Timoth\u00e9e – who styles himself – accessorized his pantsuit with square-toe Chelsea boots and a custom Cartier choker featuring 964 emeralds, rubellites, pink tourmalines, and blue opals<\/p>\n
‘It also reminded me of #Annie in ways (Olivia Colman’s character is very much sending Miss Hannigan vibes throughout),’ Davis tweeted.<\/p>\n
‘Cute, crafty, wholesome & perfect for the whole family. Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet holds his own as the legendary Willy Wonka. Definitely not as grizzled and maniacal as Gene Wilder’s version. Chalamet’s Wonka is a young and naive dreamer who learns to harness his talents with a little help from the friends he meets along the way.<\/p>\n
‘Shout out to Hugh Grant and Keegan-Michael Key for putting it all out there in their roles and stealing scenes. Dad Tip: Parents, grab a chocolate or candy-making kit to create your own treats at home with the kids after the movie.’<\/p>\n
