Review of The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) by Antichritic — 07 Dec 2017

This movie gives exactly what the trailer promised and it's simply great festive fare. It's December and I wanted a festive family film (for more grown up kids) that wasn't Marvel, DC or full of violence.

We all know the story, but this injects a pleasantly fresh spin and Dan Stevens and Christopher Plummer are simply great leads. It seems to me that some reviewers feel that the people who pay to watch a festive movie in December, or go about with "Merry Christmas" on their lips should be boiled in their own plum pudding and buried with a stake of holly through their hearts.

Bah, humbug to the Scrooge-like reviewers and merry, merry Christmas to one and all ...
