Review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) by Harveyc. — 14 Sep 2005
Has much of the fun-house entertaining quality of "Beetlejuice". Depp's edgy, ambiguous, emotionally alienated character is well done, and the awful children are very well played. Is it for children or adults? The reviewers' manifold disagreements are amusing.
Certainly it won't be played over and over on the VCR, as the Wilder version is. But it's more dramatically satisfying.
