Carol

Carol will capture your heart and become a favorite in your home. George Johnson once again shows his prowess and surpasses all expectations by creating this modern classic. If you loved Homeless for the Holidays you will love this film. The music, editing, and cinematography are superb. Aaron Fullan, the lead actor, demonstrates an impressive and captivating range and depth in his craft.

The entire cast is top shelf, from Shannen Fields to Matt Moore to Robert Amaya. The rap number with Amaya and Fullan is worth the price of admission alone. Frannie Rae Cash Cain demonstrates her talent, and the Amaya family have some serious singing and acting skills. The film is a visual and audio delight from beginning to end.

In our day of endless Hollywood dribble, stale sequels, and cultural pandering, this film does something bold and unashamed. It offers answers. It gives meaning and purpose through themes of forgiveness, redemption and faith. And it does so while being thoroughly entertaining Visual art at its finest can influence a life, a family , and a society. This is one such film. You might find yourself wishing it will never end, unless you happen to be Ebeneezer Scrooge.

This movie was a great surprise and will be an annual favorite!!! Unlike the traditional Charles Dickens Scrooge, this movie delivers the message with a fresh new approach.. Musical scores from Heartfelt to Rap (a good try on rap). "Carol" will make you laugh and make you cry. It will make you ask yourself questions. And to see this story turned into a Christian message was amazing. Even if your preference is a little different, this movie's message about Family and Hope will inspire you. So if you're looking for a new family favorite that the whole family will enjoy.... Check out Carol, you won't be disappointed.

Fabulous!!! "Carol" is a well-crafted musical with a wonderful twist on Dickens' classic. The famous theme & characters are easily distinguishable yet freshly presented, escaping the duldrums of familiarity.

Replete with engaging original song & dance numbers that are performed with skill and passion! The talented acting ensemble is refreshingly unfamiliar, yet maintain a fine chemistry throughout. The photography and cinematography are finely tuned. Director George A. Johnson's effort is a solid addition to his Christmas-themed resume (Homeless for the Holidays).

This pleasing performance will certainly become a seasonal go-to for many - especially in light of the resurgence of cinematic musicals.

A true treasure trove of entertainment. Be prepared to have the "Bah humbug" knocked out of you!!!

While this is loosely based around a Christmas Carol it's not quite all that. And as a fan of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, all renditions of film and musicals, this one uses some familiar characters and puts a whole new spin on everything. With familiar characters to make you feel comfortable enough, but not sure where each one was going, because we were dealing with not a Scrooge character but somebody whose heart needs to be repaired in a different way. Filled with songs and musical numbers choreographed to entertain and touch the heart. Film also included a comical sense of humor spread throughout. I've seen this film twice and it was better the second time around.

Such a fun movie! The music blew me away! The story was a fun new twist on A Christmas Carol, showing life from the opposite of the tracks as Scrooge, but still giving us the Christmas ghosts we love 😁

The actors were mostly new to me, but all did an amazing job! The sets and settings were beautiful, and it's easy to tell that a lot of care went into making them sparkle (sometimes literally, it is a Christmas movie).

The songs were a mix of genres, and I loved all of them. I'm not even sure I could pick a favorite.

One question left. When does the soundtrack come out? I can't wait! It will be blasting through my house, even after the holidays are over!
