Meh, it passed the time.

Just. 😐 👍🏼👎🏼

How comes this is not on dvd yet not seen it anywhere.

Personally, I forced myself to watch, or should I say, experience this retelling of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. None of the actors speak. They just dance. In opera, the story is sung by the players. Here, the players are mute, their roles conveyed through their very expressive movements - via contemporary dance - their "voices" coming from "behind the curtain" when needed, together with that of the narrator who controls this retelling.

Actually, this production would have been better on a stage. It would have made more sense, and would have had a more appreciative audience. As a movie, it soon became boring. One already knows the story so no need to hang on to find out what happens in the end.

I do like contemporary dance. I love the way it can convey emotion. However, those who want to experience this at its best, should look elsewhere. And choose one or more of the other A Christmas Carol movies to soothe that seasonal itch.

I am a professional dancer, choreographer, and designer. This production is glorious, original, delicate, sensitive, and a total surprise. To hear the book, read by Sian Phillips, as the dance accompaniment, enhanced by an original score, was sublime. This is a beautiful and wonderfully creative telling of the much abused but loved Christmas Carol. It, unlike most every other production, is not bombastic or over produced. To hear Dickens' words, and not someone's idea of what they should be, spoken by the wonderful voice of Sian Phillips, is a rare treat. Granted, it takes a minute to get into it seeing that I is completely choreographed, but trust me, it's a treat!

I was bored after the first 15 minutes. I can see how you turn the typical traditional a Christmas Carol into a modern art form, but your last message completely.

I was bored after year cardboard characters turning to life, yeah ballet or modern dances which was great but didn't say a word the mouths weren't moving.

What's going on with you guys in Hollywood can't you make better movies than this this is for people with dementia Alzheimer's.

You people should be ashamed yourself for putting crap out there in digital format don't waste the memory the ram, whatever the gigabytes save them and shove them up where the sun don't shine.

Is one of the worst adaptations of a Christmas Carol you should be disgraced you're a D minus you losers I could make a better movie than this and if I edit it it wouldn't be as long as it was it be 45 minutes. Get it you're a bunch of idiots out there in Hollywood!
