Wonka (2023)

 Sometimes, if I particularly like what I say, I'll copy it to Letterboxd.

But I have to say;

This movie is the most unhinged thing I've seen since 2018. It leans into the live action children's films of old - I don't watch many these days - where they didn't shy away from subjects and made children feel like they were a little more grown-up for watching.

Look at this, it has everything; Illiteracy, slavery, police brutality, several attempts at murder, some kind of overeating fetish, mob mentality, physical slapstick violence...the works!

The songs are okay, I don't feel you needed to autotune Timothee that much. He's not going platinum but his voice is clear, endearing, and fine enough to the point where the autotune was more distracting when it did appear.
