Ms. Scrooge

About This Movie

Ms. Scrooge (1997) offers a unique twist on the classic 'A Christmas Carol,' with a female lead in Ebenita Scrooge. The film embraces a somber yet reflective tone, drawing you into its atmosphere of holiday despair turned redemption. The pacing is steady, allowing for character development, and the practical effects used for the ghostly visits have a certain charm, if not a bit dated. The performances, particularly by the lead, bring a certain gravitas to this reimagined tale. It's interesting to see how the themes of greed, change, and the spirit of Christmas manifest in a modern businesswoman's struggle. Definitely not your typical holiday fare, but that's what sets it apart.

Television movie format lends a different feel.Explores themes of feminism and redemption.Interesting visual style for its time.
