Critics Give Mixed Reviews to ‘Ebenezer’ Starring Johnny Depp

The first reviews from international critics are in for “Scrooge,” starring Johnny Depp.

The adaptation of Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” has earned a 50% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a score of 47 out of 100 on Metacritic. Reviewers praised the film’s festive spirit and Gothic atmosphere, while Depp’s performance divided opinion: some found it well suited to the film, while others called it “unbearable.”

“Scrooge” follows the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited by three ghosts at Christmas. The film was directed by Ti West (“X,” “Pearl”) and also stars Ian McKellen, Rupert Grint, Daisy Ridley, Sam Claflin, Andrea Riseborough and others. It opens in theaters this week.
