Timothee Chalamet absolutely won over my heart with this one. When I was growing up I loved both renditions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so when I heard they were making a prequel I was definitely intrigued. This was everything my heart could want and more, the songs were sombre and bittersweet - like something out of your childhood dreams. The acting was good, corny at times, but it was the sheer wittiness that gave this film its charm. I would definitely recommend checking this out.

Went in with low expectations, but the movie did it for me. Great acting, Chalamet is the best actor of his generation and the rest of the cast was totally awesome. The songs were ok, nothing amazing, but at least the balance was good (not too many - I don’t particularly care for musicals) and the self awareness was spot on.

A kids movie at best. Rather boring overall

such a big pile of crap with terrible songs and one dimensional characters and poor writing. Even Mr Bean couldn't save this movie.

If I had a nickel for every musical film based on a Roald Dahl book and containing a giraffe released in the past year that I watched this week, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
