Scrooge: Johnny Depp returns in a gothic Christmas tale, our review

Johnny Depp returns to the forefront under the direction of Ti West (MaXXXine) in a new adaptation of Charles Dickens' famous tale. Between fantasy, gothic horror and the spirit of Christmas, does Scrooge manage to renew the formula? Our review.

With Scrooge, Ti West tackles one of the most adapted and popular tales in the history of cinema, Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Johnny Depp plays the famous Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser and misanthrope who will be led to reconsider his life after the visit of several ghosts…

A sumptuous recreation of 19th-century London, a gothic atmosphere, and Depp's surprisingly restrained performance: the film has plenty of strengths, but it nevertheless leaves an unfinished feeling.
