Based on Roald Dahl's classic book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wonka tells the wondrous origin story of how the world's greatest inventor, magician and candy man chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today. This irresistibly inventive big screen spectacle introduces us to a young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet), chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time—proving that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you're lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible. (Dir. by Paul King, 2023, USA/UK, 116 mins., Rated PG)
