Efter denna är jag mer sugen än någonsin att semestra på den engelska landsbygden!

Miss Potter was a bit too pushy at times and disrespectful to her parents, though I can understand her frustration. There was some feministic aspect, but I was glad that Beatrix wanted to get married, still. (And I don't see anything wrong with writing and painting, it's just that I believe it can be taken to extremes.) All in all a pretty good movie.

I suppose the description saying 'inspired by a true story' rather than a biopic is telling. I found it a little twee at first, the implication that Beatrix be squeamish compared to her brother when it's reasonably well-known she dissected animals - ...

I found it a little twee at first, the implication that Beatrix be squeamish compared to her brother when it's reasonably well-known she dissected animals - quite the best way to draw them very well then!

The pictues becoming animated was fun, but I wonder if another director or different script could've done more with that than have Miss Potter talking to them as if not quite balanced!

I found Miss Zelwegger a bit irritating to start as if being a v proper, practised Englishwoman rather than a person, but this may have been deliberate as the performance warmed to me as she did in the story. The parents were vey good (Barbara Flyn and Bill Paterson) and yes, of course there was beautiful scenery to behold and lovely sets.

Charming in many ways with a fine cast. Now, back to that silliest of ducks and other books, chikldren all!

Beautiful though tragic story of Beatrix Potter. Amazingly well played and directed.

Pretty inspiring movie of a confident, passionate woman, who tries to find a place in life. I like the fact that's a true story, too.

The film offers scant insight into the forces that inspired Potter's phenomenally successful career.

A grave disappointment.

It will certainly play well with older audiences and the kind of adolescent girls who draw faces in their O's.

This attractive, superficial stab at biography, with Renée Zellweger in the title role, is more concerned with a lonely woman's quest for acceptance and love than with an author's worldly achievements.

It's a soft-focus picture of a woman who, surely, had a few more hard edges, but it's a thoroughly pleasant escape to another world.
