Beatrix Potter (
Renée Zellweger) was a literary phenomenon of the early 20th Century.
At a time when most young women of her class aimed only to make a good marriage, Beatrix became an iconic figure, swimming quietly, but with great fortitude against the tide.
She created a series of books and characters that are as beloved today as they were a hundred years ago; since their publication they have never been out of print. She was also a distinguished painter and--had she been a man--her botanical drawings would have been snapped up by the Royal Horticultural Society at Kew Gardens.
In addition, by the time she died in 1943, Beatrix Potter had purchased vast swathes of the Lake District that she left to the then fledgling British Conservation Trust. That so much of this glorious countryside that inspired her, remains as it was in Beatrix Potter’s day for others to enjoy, is her bequest to the nation.
This is her story....
damm… i’ve been wtiniag soooo long to see the new winnie the pooh film and now you spoiled it. … did i just say that out loud??
After 50 something years of avid movie watching I can say, beyond a doubt,Miss Potter is peerless.Between Renee Zellwegers performance as the beloved 'Beatrix', her supporting cast,Chris Noonans,flawless direction, the set, the costuming,the script,the LIST goes on.THIS is the one for the vault.
As timeless as 'Miss Potters'story is, so indeed the film.A true masterpiece.
Best Wishes,
