I enjoyed this movie so much I intend to purchase it. The acting was superb and the storyline even better. Dan Stevens was the perfect Charles Dickens, although I bet Dan was much more attractive. I enjoyed learning the true story of Dickens' childhood and how it influenced his writing. I also enjoyed seeing his writerly emotions such as depression, feelings of worthlessness, anger, etc. I didn't know he self-published A Christmas Story. I absolutely loved this movie.

Snore feast. Saving Mr Banks is good. Looks to be the last of it kind. No way I'm giving Christopher robin a chance. To bad there are not many good movies any longer

I have always loved Charles Dickens the story teller, the book writer, the adventure and characters he created and what I have learned about him as a man over the years. Thank you for the movie and most of all thank you Dan Stevens for a beautiful performance. Great cast...great fun
