Dan Stevens does a wonderful job of 'being' Charles Dickens. No problem with the presentation though there are many inaccuracies: just one for example, From the 'The Dickensian (1938),' Dickens probably got the name 'Marley' from a friend of his, a Dr. Miles Marley, an Irish doctor, at a St. Patrick's Day party. Dickens liked the surname, jotted it down, and, thus history. There are several other instances that preclude the movie's 'history' of 'The Christmas Carol' origins.
An invaluable source for TCC background and those origins is 'The Annotated Christmas Carol' by Michael Patrick Hearn.
If you are a fan of 'Boz' and his work 'The Christmas Carol' this would be a worthwhile read of this entertaining annotation which is extremely comprehensive. I still loved this movie and Stevens' performance. Just wish it had been more historically accurate.
