Miss Potter (PG)
Director: Chris Noonan
Starring: Renee Zellweger,
Ewan McGregor, Emily Watson
UK/USA, 2006, 1 hour 30 minutes
Set in the high summer of Edwardian England, the life story of the woman who created Peter Rabbit, Jeremy Fisher and Mrs Tiggy-Winkle shows that Beatrix Potter was a headstrong pioneer who had to fight for success in a man's world. She became a celebrity whose secret love affair with her publisher, Norman Warne, haunted her throughout her life. Both funny and sad, this makes great use of the beautiful Lake District landscape and has Renee Zellweger at her formidable best, a real pleasure.
