MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

adonis98-743-186503 The journey that led to Charles Dickens' creation of "A Christmas Carol," a timeless tale that would redefine Christmas. Dan Stevens and Christopher Plummer are two very likable and talented actors for sure but 'The Man Who Invented Christmas' was missing the Christmas spirit quite alot and unfortunately it's well known actors couldn't save it from falling apart. The storyline was interesting but the execution wasn't that good tho and the acting although good the characters were missing something as a whole for sure and it was quite disappointing. (3/10)

mikeh-54044 Clearly... a movie for those unabashedly sentimental about Scrooge, Bob Crachett and all the elements of the Dickensian view of Christmas. The contast with poor Mr. Dickens own situation could not be greater! Poor fellow! The novel's characters dogging his footsteps is immensely funny. And...of course... it all comes right in the end. Relax your ctitical sense, dig into your plum pudding and declare it a triumph!

Christmas-Reviewer Based on the book "The Man WHo Invented Christmas" this film explores the time Charles Dickens was having. HAving just come off three bombs he is not only in desperate need of hit he also running out money. This fear he has of losing everything drives him into creating the "Most Beloved Christmas Story" of all time "A Christmas Carol".Now this film shows us where he might of got his ideas from and it does so entainingly. Since most of us now how the story will end its still a surprise to see all the craziness Charles Dickens had in his life but was able to create a masterpiece that is still popular today 175 years after it was first published!

rrandall-120-483318 With 2017 behind us, THIS should have been movie of the year... or at least nominated for an Oscar.I've never liked "A Christmas Carol" because it indoctrinates the audience (whether in text or video) to a psychological dysfunction called "Karpman's Drama Triangle". People who are "stuck" in Karpman's Drama Triangle view the world as everyone falling into one of three categories... victim, persecutor or rescuer. And through this story, one can easily see that Dickens was firmly entrenched in Karpman's Drama Triangle! If you're reading this thinking; Yes. Of course everyone falls into one of those 3 categories... then congratulations. You've just diagnosed your own psychological dysfunction (and I recommend you work on breaking free of it).What drew me to this movie was curiosity over whether it would depict Dickens himself having this dysfunctional map of reality. Not only did it do so... it did so brilliantly! People "stuck" in Kaprman's Drama Triangle tend to move easily between the roles of victim, persecutor, and rescuer... but are most comfortable in one of those roles. This movie accurately depicted how Dickens was able to move between these roles in the creation of each character within the story. And it showed how his personal experiences influenced his values and perceptions to align with Karpman's Drama Triangle (which is a "learned" psychological dysfunction). This movie also accurately depicted how many fictional writers actually craft their stories... creating characters that "come alive" in the writers mind. And how many fictional characters are loosely based upon real people (including aspects of the author).First, read about Karpman's Drama Triangle... then watch this movie. That will leave you with a completely different perspective toward "A Christmas Carol".
