Movie Reviews of Miss Potter

Movie Review: Was Beatrix Potter kind of dotty?
Summary: 3 Stars

The movie depicts a somewhat homely old maid who lived
in a childish world of her stories and animals.
The love affair with her publisher's younger brother
who was assigned her book to get him out of his older brother's hair
is a strange mix of 19th morays right out of Jane Austin.
Her mother and father, it seems, would rather she be a lonely old maid,
than marry below her station and disgrace them.
All their scheming backfires when he unexpectedly dies of a fever.
So what did she do with the rest of her life?
Why is she considered one of the first "modern" British
women? I liked the movie, but I suspect that she
was much better balanced than the movie gives her credit for.

Summary of Miss Potter

(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.
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
