The Spirit of Christmas (2018) presents a rather contemporary twist on Dickens' classic 'A Christmas Carol.' It dives into the life of Mark, a rather self-absorbed character who seems to prioritize his career over family and compassion. The film's tone is introspective, with a more modern setting that gives it a unique flavor. Pacing feels a bit uneven at times, oscillating between reflection and plot development. The atmosphere is quite somber, almost melancholic, which really underscores the themes of redemption and the importance of human connections. Performances, while not universally praised, bring a rawness that fits the narrative. Practical effects aren’t a focal point, but the emotional depth somewhat compensates for that, making it distinct in its own right.
