The movie “Wonka” tells the tale of a youthful and hopeful candy-maker who travels to Europe with aspirations of sharing his chocolate inventions with the world. However, his adventure is filled with obstacles, including run-ins with fraudsters and a chocolate “cartel.” Standout performances include Olivia Colman as a woman who ensnares Wonka in financial troubles and Hugh Grant as a scene-stealing Oompa-Loompa.

Guided by director Paul King, “Wonka” is among several Chalamet films accessible on Netflix, including “The King” and “Don’t Look Up.” Critics on Rotten Tomatoes refer to “Wonka” as a “feel-good treat,” providing a delightful twist on the beloved character.
