A Christmas Carol (1999 TV Movie)
7/10
Not one of Patrick Stewart's best performances
20 December 2022
Let me first say that I love Patrick Stewart in many things, and I also love various versions of A Christmas Carol. This one, however, is a huge disappointment to me. His acting - particularly in the scene with Jacob Marley and later when he's back in his room after being with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come - is just so over the top and unbelievable that it damages what is otherwise pretty decent production. The other knock on this one is the bread-box-head-with-jawa-eyes Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. It's somewhat shocking to me that the crew was ok with this. Anyway still 7 stars from me, but this should have been a perfect 10.
