Review of The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) by Skernan — 27 Nov 2017
I wrote a review of The Man Who Invented Christmas for Vocal.Media. The Man Who Invented Christmas is a remarkably dull movie. Regardless of the good intentions and the good ideas at the heart of the film, the story and specifically the character of Charles Dickens, never get going.
The story about how Charles Dickens came to write A Christmas Carol likely wasn’t all that dramatic; most writing isn’t particularly dramatic, in and of itself. But where The Man Who Invented Christmas fails is in finding some aspect of Dickens that was interestingly dramatic while he wrote his masterpiece.
Instead, we have an almost insufferable lead character on a predictable journey toward a well-known outcome. https://geeks.media/movie-review-the-man-who-invented-christmas?_ga=2.158861178.1740922222.
