Critics split on Ti West’s Scrooge film.
These reviews seem to be watching different Scrooges. IndieWire says Depp’s performance sinks the film, while The Hollywood Reporter calls his turn creepily effective. Vulture lands in the awkward middle: Depp is the movie’s worst part, but the movie around him is pretty good. The Hollywood Reporter’s roundup describes critics’ takes on Depp as stretching from calling him the worst Scrooge ever to finding him redeemable. Even within that one Vulture review, the star can be the problem while the film still works.
