An excellent fictionalised biographical account of Charles Dickens and the writing of 'A Christmas Carol'. Dan Stevens is excellent in the title role, and Christopher Plummer makes a very believable Scrooge, in the imagination of the writer.

We learned a lot about Dickens' life, and thoroughly enjoyed the way the film was made, with flashbacks of his own life woven into the story, and his own gradual transformation along with that of his character.

Highly recommended, so long as you are familiar with the story of 'A Christmas Carol', or it won't make a lot of sense.
