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

Gone With The Twins

Mike Massie

The imaginative visuals tend to be the highlight, though the ideas intermittently seem too farfetched even for this flighty spectacle, causing the film to be far more memorable for individual elements rather than the production as a whole.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a classic delight for all the senses. Gene Wilder has the commendable ability to balance levity and no nonsense charm to confectionery and commentary.

Patrick McDonald

What else to say? My amazement is generational, but finding out more about the film makes it even better. Let's just say this may be the greatest film ever made to promote a corporate candy bar, which ultimately melted. Gene Wilder, Best. Wonka. Ever.

In 2023, the film seems dated, so it's best for younger children or adults who want whimsical nostalgia. Gene Wilder makes the mold for a Wonka that is more approachable than Johnny Depp's and allows for the possibility of Timothée Chalamet's.
