There were a few doubters when it came to Timothée Chalamet's performance in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel, Wonka. But the early reviews are in and critics are raving about his 'exceptional and pitch-perfect' performance, praising him to be 'infinitely charming' in the role.
Wonka - which is directed by Paddington filmmaker Paul King - focuses on a young Willy Wonka and how he came to meet the Oompa-Loompas on a colourful adventure. Timothée leads an all-star cast which includes Olivia Colman and Hugh Grant, and the new musical is being hailed 'a super charming delight' by Collider's Perri Nemiroff.
