Festive treat: Dan Stevens as Charles Dickens and Christopher Plummer as Ebenezer Scrooge in The Man Who Invented Christmas

Carol biopic hits all the right notes

Charles Dickens, we are told by his biographers, was a whirlwind of energy, a nervy whippet of a man who maintained an exhausting writing and performing schedule that left all others in his wake. He was driven not so much by ambition but more a morbid fear of the poverty he had experienced in his childhood. That anxious, inexhaustible quality is nicely captured by Dan Stevens' central performance in this amiable, bluff, broadly drawn film. The title refers to the fact that, in A Christmas Carol, Dickens defined many of the qualities we most closely associate with the festive season, but as we discover, writing it wasn't easy.
