Summary
Press-screening reactions to Paramount’s Ebenezer began landing on social media ahead of full reviews on Nov. 12, with many praising its gothic style and Johnny Depp’s turn as Scrooge.
Ti West’s take on A Christmas Carol was widely described as atmospheric, horror-leaning and visually strong, though several early viewers said it adds little new to the familiar story.
The split but mostly favorable first wave matters because the film is Depp’s first mainstream Hollywood feature since the fallout from his divorce and legal battles, after limited work since 2020.
Ebenezer premiered in New York on Nov. 1, had its London premiere on Monday, and opens globally on Nov. 13.
