Critics Consensus: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is strange yet comforting, full of narrative detours that don't always work but express the film's uniqueness.

Reviews

Rob's Movie Vault

Rob Gonsalves

The movie has some things to recommend it -- the atmosphere, the imagination, the story's overall intelligence -- but it's rather harsh and moralistic.

Exuberant, macabre and unpredictable...

Every time you watch it you're newly impressed by its heartfelt story line, unfussy direction, wit and humor (with Gene Wilder giving a performance for the ages). Warner 4K HD blu-ray.

all it took was memorable musical numbers, one of the movies' greatest comedic performers in the lead role, and a great deal of influence from the psychedelic undercurrents of the time when it was made. (50th anniversary)

Where it reigns supreme is in its casting of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.
