In 1843, despite the fact that Dickens is a successful writer, the failure of his latest book puts his career at a crossroads, until the moment when, struggling with inspiration and confronting reality with his childhood memories, a new character is born in the depths of his troubled mind; an old, lonely, embittered man, so vivid, so human, that a whole world grows around him, a story so inspiring that changed the meaning of Christmas forever.

This is one of those movies where you think you wouldn’t really like it or it’s too childish but if you just watch 5 minutes you will absolutely change your mind It’s a holiday masterpiece

I have fallen in love with Dan Stevens as Matthew Crawley. I have fallen in love with Dan Stevens as Edward Ferrars. I have fallen in love with Dan Stevens as the human version of the Beast (yes don't judge me). And now...I have fallen in love with Dan Stevens as Charles Dickens. 🫠😭😂❤️
The fact that I am reading AChristmas Carol right now made this movie 10 times better but I kept imagining Dan Stevens as Charles Dickens writing the book the whole time...😂😩 Anyway I love this movie and it should become a Christmas classic!❤️

A good one and pretty original for a movie based on another movie based on a book.

What an imaginative way to show what may have happened when Dickens wrote a Christmas Carol.

sinc mi è piaciuto, il processo creativo di tutto il libro è coinvolgente e originale, quasi a paragonarlo con una sorta di pre-produzione cinematografica.
