Description:
(Drama) The story of Beatrix Potter, the author of the beloved and best-selling children's book, 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit', and her struggle for love, happiness and success.
Amazon.com:
Miss Potter walks that fine line between charming and cloying with pleasing sure-footedness. Apple-cheeked Renee Zellweger (Bridget Jones' Diary) once again slips into a British accent to play writer/illustrator Beatrix Potter, the creator of Peter Rabbit. Potter, born into wealth, fought the disapproval of her high society mother to do something as crass as publish a book...and to fall in love with her publisher, Norman Warne (Ewan McGregor, previously teamed with Zellweger in Down With Love). Unfortunately, their love runs into something worse than upper-class stuffiness. Miss Potter skips through Potter's life a bit too briskly at times, but Zellweger's thankfully restrained performance, McGregor's infinite charm, and some beautiful shots of the English landscape keep the movie grounded and engaging. Also featuring a crackling supporting performance by Emily Watson (Breaking the Waves) as Warne's sister Millie. --Bret Fetzer

A beautiful historical tale of creativity, perseverence, living authentically, and a zest for life. Drama, angst, celebration. It invokes a lot of emotion as one identifies with Miss Potter and her struggle to be OK with her out-of-sync outlook in Victorian London. Suitable for family viewing.

This well casted period piece gives us a good look into one of the most famous writers of childrens books. Beatrix Potter was an amazing woman and Ren'ee Zellwegger plays her incredibly well. She shows us her quirks and unwielding believe in her animal characters. We see her talent in her style of painting them and creating stories about them. Ewan McGregor plays her publisher with style and heart. I was drawn into her life story and found myself wanting more after the end of the movie. A romance and ... Read More
