Is this how it really happened? Who cares. It is a great, inspiring story in itself. The whole movie is great and the casting was perfect. Charles Dickens is a powerful character in every scene, not like super hero powerful, but how relatable the struggles he faces are. This is a must see - especially during the Christmas season.
