The Man Who Invented Christmas's reviews
Media reviews
Los Angeles Times
The Man Who Invented Christmas is a jaunty, amusing patchwork of truths, half-truths and pure fiction that cleverly combine to recount the story of the whirlwind creation of Charles Dickens' famed novella "A Christmas Carol."
Chicago Sun-Times
It?s filled with so many theatrical flourishes and fantastical touches, one can envision this material as a work for the stage, or even an animated film.
Entertainment Weekly
Again, we know the beats by heart, but there?s a reason A Christmas Carol has been told every which way from Muppets to Disney. You can?t help getting swept up in it, even if you?ve heard it all before.
ABC
Indiewire
A well-intentioned but wearisome jolt of prefab holiday cheer.
The Wrap
As a portrait of an author on the verge of a breakthrough, this is a run-of-the-mill, occasionally clumsy biopic; as for contextualizing Christmas, it never explains how it functioned before Dickens and only briefly mentions how it changed after him.
