A Christmas Carol

There are many versions of this story, because there are many ways it can be portrayed. This is the most natural version of scrooge, a real believable person not a characture. The story highlights the horror of the era as Dickens intended, not sweep them under the carpet. The dance carrys you through the story with a mixture of strength and ethereal beauty. It's a true Christmas delight and one that I shall add to my watch list for Christmas's to come.

Dance, animation and a pretty accurate usage of the words from the book.

The dance is elegant, delicate, wonderfully lit and excellently filmed....like watching a ballet on stage.

The narration and voices of the characters is thoughtful and engaging.

Set on an imaginary stage in a family house with the matriarch narrating the story, the performance takes the audience into the house/set built by the children in the opening scene. And from there, the detailing begins.

It's not a busy production. For that, watch the Disney one or The Muppets...But if you want a more authentic feeling production, as if enjoying a production in a musty Victorian theatre, then this is simply gorgeous.

A Christmas Carol is a 2020 British Christmas drama dance film directed by Jacqui Morris and David Morris and based on Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol 🎄

Meh, it passed the time.

Just. 😐 👍🏼👎🏼

I am a professional dancer, choreographer, and designer. This production is glorious, original, delicate, sensitive, and a total surprise. To hear the book, read by Sian Phillips, as the dance accompaniment, enhanced by an original score, was sublime. This is a beautiful and wonderfully creative telling of the much abused but loved Christmas Carol. It, unlike most every other production, is not bombastic or over produced. To hear Dickens' words, and not someone's idea of what they should be, spoken by the wonderful voice of Sian Phillips, is a rare treat. Granted, it takes a minute to get into it seeing that I is completely choreographed, but trust me, it's a treat!

I was bored after the first 15 minutes. I can see how you turn the typical traditional a Christmas Carol into a modern art form, but your last message completely.

I was bored after year cardboard characters turning to life, yeah ballet or modern dances which was great but didn't say a word the mouths weren't moving.

What's going on with you guys in Hollywood can't you make better movies than this this is for people with dementia Alzheimer's.

You people should be ashamed yourself for putting crap out there in digital format don't waste the memory the ram, whatever the gigabytes save them and shove them up where the sun don't shine.

Is one of the worst adaptations of a Christmas Carol you should be disgraced you're a D minus you losers I could make a better movie than this and if I edit it it wouldn't be as long as it was it be 45 minutes. Get it you're a bunch of idiots out there in Hollywood!
