My review of Ebenezer

WB had to post awards predictions for Dune: Part Three because some people broke the rules last time around.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many FYC events in a single week as I have this week. There are legit like 20 things happening every day from today through Sunday. I know everyone is trying to get their film out there, but with this many options, I feel like everyone is just bouncing from event to event without giving each film the time and respect it deserves.

I loved Ti West’s Ebenezer. We all know this story, but what I loved the most about West’s take is that he treats it like a true ghost story.

So many great actors have played Scrooge over the years, from Patrick Stewart to Michael Caine, and Johnny Depp proves once again why he’s one of the greatest actors of all time.

Depp brings his own style to the beloved character and makes his Scrooge feel like his own. It’s another iconic performance from the gifted actor, and one that I think audiences will love for years to come.

In terms of the crafts, they are spectacular across the board. The cinematography, costumes, production design, visual effects and hair & makeup help build and shape this world that West and Depp live in.

Had a wonderful conversation with Alex Brightman today about how subjective the word “best” is in any art form, whether it’s theater, music, film, or TV. What’s “best” is entirely up to the person saying it. It was such a great discussion and yes, I was totally geeking out about his Broadway career.
