A Christmas Carol Ratings & Reviews
- Julie JonesJanuary 12, 2026i've seen a lot of movies of this, i always give them a look to see the difference. This story of redemption enables the viewers to follow the pack Dickens laid out before us to follow the character through hell and back. This production is a classic and a must see every holiday season! Please enjoy this Family Classic with the whole Brood!
- rebeccacervantes110October 20, 2025Love this movie and the message of redemption in it! George C. Scott masterfully portrayed Ebenezer Scrooge as only he could . It doesn’t have to be the holidays to appreciate this message. When his senses return to him he expresses pure joy in the end by jumping on his bed. Absolutely priceless. Then, he is reconciled to his nephew and meets his wife as well. No one can top this.
- Tim SuchDecember 12, 2025Since this was released, it remains the absolute BEST version of the story to this day. I still love the early versions for the memories they evoke, but this completely nails everything just right. The pathos, the resilience of the people, the near-total hopelessness of some others. And THEN the ecstatic joy of Scrooge when he realizes he has another chance. Daniel Defoe was right- redemption from sin is greater than redemption from affliction. Please enjoy!
