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

Through Chris Noonan's skillful and enchanting direction, we are privy to Miss Potter's initial meeting with the Warne Brothers at their publishing firm as her now-classic tale of Peter Rabbit is reluctantly launched ... Read More
Rating: - A tour-de-force for Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellwegger
I will start by saying that this is a romanticized and fictionalized "biographical" movie of the life of Beatrix Potter, creator of Peter Rabbit. But however true or not true it is to her life story, it is still an excellent movie based on the culture of the end of the Victorian age. There is an amazing and real feeling of the repression of the age, where even taking a lady's hand was fraught with meaning. Both Ewan and Renee manage to portray the growing attraction between them with just a lowered eye, ... Read More
Rating: - My wife loves this movie!
Miss Potter, the movie is now one of my wife's favorites. The period setting, the romantic story based on the life of Beatrix Potter, the English countryside, the example of good stewardship of the land - this, coupled with great acting, make this a clasic movie. It earns a big 10 on the Wife-O-Meter!
Rating: - Miss Potter
I knew very little about Beatrix Potter. I loved the movie. The acting was great as well as the photography of the Lake District. I highly recommend this film.
Rating: - Super Movie and Bio
Real life bio of Beatrix Potter; I have watched over and over. Renee does a superb job in the lead role. Love the scenery, truly beautiful!!
