Among this week's releases, the screen adaptation of Suzie Miller's stage hit Prima Facie, starring Cynthia Erivo as a barrister, received a four-star rating alongside praise for her commanding performance. Ebenezer, featuring Johnny Depp as Scrooge in a new version of the Dickens classic, earned three stars with critics noting Depp's surprisingly good turn as the miser. A Fox Under a Pink Moon, in which refugee Soraya Akhlaghi filmed her perilous flight from Iran using a phone, also secured four stars. Other reviewed films included Whispers in the Woods, 1 in 2, Soul Patrol, Give Me the Ball!, Traces of Justice, The Mosquito Bowl, 100 Sunset, Fjord, and How to Rob a Bank. Re-released titles such as The Man Who Fell to Earth starring David Bowie and Female Perversions starring Tilda Swinton received the full five-star rating.
