‘Scrooge’ Starring Johnny Depp Receives Rave Reviews After Premiere

The European premiere of the fantasy film “Scrooge,” inspired by Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol,” took place in London. “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Johnny Depp plays the lead role.

Early audiences responded positively, describing the film as a carefully crafted, atmospheric and beautifully shot adaptation. Others praised its stylish, eerie Gothic take on the classic tale, calling it dark and deeply moving, with “fantastic” production design. Depp’s performance was hailed as “phenomenal” and “outstanding,” without veering into caricature.

“Scrooge” follows the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited by three ghosts at Christmas. Ti West (“X,” “Pearl”) directed the film, with Ian McKellen, Rupert Grint, Daisy Ridley and Sam Claflin among the supporting cast.

“Scrooge” opens in cinemas worldwide on November 12. Critics’ reviews will be available a day before its release.
