Review Detail

I didn’t know what to expect as this is the third version of a typically odd Roald Dahl story .  I did like the Tim Burton version, but I had never seen  a Timothee Chalamet performance, so I was curious.  It was wonderful. They did fiddle with the original story in a major way, but it was engaging and beautifully filmed and Chalamet  was absolutely superb. He was a joy to watch. Great cast..and an hysterically funny Hugh Grant as an oompa loompa. It is a story fraught with drama and intrigue and deception, but is ultimately joyful and uplifting.
