The film 'Ebenezer' features Johnny Depp as Ebenezer Scrooge, with critics noting his performance as a central contradiction in the adaptation. Some reviewers described his portrayal as undermining the movie's potential despite its faithful adherence to Charles Dickens' original story.
While director Ti West incorporated horror elements and additional backstory from the novel, reviews highlighted the film's lack of innovation compared to previous adaptations. Critics also noted mixed reactions to Depp's involvement, with some calling his performance 'low-rent' and others finding the movie technically competent but confused.
