What The Man Who Invented Christmas is

A film that asks: what if Charles Dickens had writer's block? Facing financial ruin after a string of flops, Dickens falls back on memories of his hardscrabble childhood to write *A Christmas Carol*. It's a charming film, if you don't mind that it takes considerable liberties with the facts.
