I don't hate the picture itself. It has a sinister feel to it which I did get from the book and from the newer version of the movie. However at the same time, I got the sinister feeling from Willy Wonka himself, not from the children.
For all their faults, the children were just children in the story. Whereas this girl looks completely creepy - like she's about to crack someone's skull with a hammer. I don't read "sexualised" from it; I read "deranged".
