this is the story of Charles dickens and how he came to write "a Christmas carol". dan stevens as dickens and Christopher plummer as scrooge are wonderful. as long as they are on screen the movie is great. as the characters in the book appear, you can't wait to see what happens next. however, there is a backstory of dickens' life. his family. a dreary bunch to say the least. and Jonathon pryce is especially annoying as dickens father. the movie is inventive and original in many ways and you should go. just ignore the family drama and enjoy the dickens characters.
