Brilliant!

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2015)

A retelling of the classic story originally written by Roald Dahl (you might remember the original film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory). Directed by Tim Burton, this movie looks smoother and sweeter than ever but of course hides a darker side. This version of the story captures elements of the book that the original film never did and helps reveal the inner workings of Willy Wonker's mind. In case you've never heard of it before, this film is about an eccentric chocolate factory owner that invites five children (and their guardian) into his factory and encourages his factory workers to sing and dance while the children are injured.
