This weekend, cinemas are getting into the festive spirit ahead of the Christmas lights with a new adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic 'A Christmas Carol' and the animated feature 'Attack of the Mice'. Other notable releases include 'Pray for Us', which explores girls' reformatories during the Franco era, and the comedy 'How to Rob a Bank'.
'Pray for Us', directed by Daniel Mazón, stars Zoe Bonafonte as Ana, a young girl whose night out leads to her admission into one of these reformatories. The film invites viewers to reflect on the importance of friendship in overcoming adversity.
Meanwhile, the Christmas spirit is also making its way to the big screen with Johnny Depp portraying Scrooge in a fresh take on 'A Christmas Carol'. The film, titled 'The Christmas Ghosts', recounts the harrowing night of an avaricious man visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future in a bid to change his ways before it is too late.
Another family-friendly offering, 'Attack of the Mice', follows a group of mice determined to rid their home of a family preparing to celebrate the holidays, leading to a comedic battle for control of their territory.
Lastly, 'How to Rob a Bank', featuring Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, and Christian Slater, tells the story of a group of content creators who inadvertently become a headache for the police as they attempt to dismantle a Robin Hood-style gang.
