A musical retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel about an old bitter miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions. In 1860, cranky old miser Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas; loathes people and defends the decrease of the surplus of poor population; runs his bank exploiting his employee Bob Cratchit and clients, giving a bitter treatment to his own nephew and acquaintances. However, on Christmas Eve, he is visited by the doomed ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley that tells him that three spirits would visit him that night. The first one, the spirit of Christmas Past, recalls his miserable youth when he lost his only love due to his greed; the spirit of Christmas Present shows him the poor situation of Bob's family and how joyful life may be; and the spirit of Christmas Future shows his fate. Scrooge finds that life is good and time is too short and suddenly you are not there anymore, changing his behavior toward Christmas, Bob, his nephew and people in general.

Mtime网友:这个题材,做成这样,真的很不容易了。尤其是,影片在影像上非常有特点,大量的特写镜头、跟拍、手持,以及碎片式剪辑,营造出强烈的恐慌与不安感。这种情绪,其实就是角色在片中的情绪,它以影像的方式,最直接延伸给观众。
丢豆网网友:一个好的导演,是会调教演员的,知道演员的优势在哪里。《圣诞欢歌》像极了一道来自异域的夏日甜品,虽然不是主菜的配置,但却也有着勾人的独特风情。坦白说,最初的确是冲着罗纳德·尼姆 导演的名号看的,毕竟人家讲故事的功力摆在那里,但一开始就入了坑也是我怎么都没料到的。
豆瓣网网友:放在豆瓣语境下,是部时至今日终于拍出来的英国 “高分剧情片”。拿现实题材拍商业类型片,社会意义摆在那,群戏也处理得相当不错。对英国 而言,这样的电影多一部是一部,走一步是一步。
