    Willy Wonka is a naive dreamer, just like the credulous bear Paddington who wants to see the kind in all people. Wonka becomes more chastened by what he learns, but retains a positive naivety throughout. Sweet and good in every way. - Jens Peterson

    The feeling is really that Timothée Chalamet is a rare genuine actor with a lot of integrity; despite his young age, he has proven that he doesn't pick roles to boost his bank account, but because he is actually drawn to them. - Axel Diedrichs

    Of course, you can't save the world with a box of chocolate, but with a wide-eyed childlike spirit and a good heart as the dominant ingredients, "Wonka" still feels exactly like the dream in burgundy velvet and pastel that we need right now. - Maria Brander

    "Wonka" is an entertaining and visually appealing film. Timothée Chalamet is excellent in the lead role, and Paul King creates a magical and imaginative world. However, the film is somewhat thin in its storytelling and lacks the darker tone that was present in the classic 1971 film.

    After about two hours, the daydreaming comes to an end. The lamps in the living room are turned on and it's time to wake up. The craving for sweets is gone. The thoughts about "Wonka" are the same, but not without first offering a sugar shock for the soul. Good. - Sebastian Lindvall

    Swedish: The musical praline "Wonka" is a smiling sugar shock for the soul

    See it in the cinema, preferably with children, and why not smuggle in a large box of luxurious chocolate pralines to have close at hand. This is a surefire success when you want to find some relaxation during the Christmas rush. - Alexander Kardelo

    For those who just long for pure sugar, "Wonka" is the right movie, but we others can hope for a golden ticket to a better movie as a Christmas present. - Kristoffer Viita

    The musical numbers are far from flawless, as some choreography appears rushed and several of the lyrics are cliché - but the melodies are catchy and the songs contribute to the film's narrative moving forward at a brisk pace. The whole thing engages despite the criticism - it is simply a cozy family film that fits the Christmas season well. - Rikard Gunnarsson
