Cons: Not a thing

The Bottom Line: You can look all you want, but you won't find any version better then this one.

Review: From my mom, I have inherited a love of Charles Dickens's story A Christmas Carol. Every December, I enjoy it in a couple of different forms. I have even watched some of the recent modern takes on the story, and mostly enjoyed them. But if I am ...

Pros: Amazing acting, lovely retelling of this classic favorite!

Cons: None

Pros: Incredible acting and atmosphere

Cons: N/A
