Travel To England with Miss (Beatrix) Potter, A Movie Review

Miss Potter Movie Reviews

Movie Review: Miss Potter by The Critical Movie Critics

Miss Potter "turned out to be a moving and beautifully told story of the beloved children's writer and illustrator, Beatrix Potter, a woman who created the timeless story of Peter Rabbit and who led a far more interesting life than most would believe. Her steadfastness and determination to publish her stories remains constant throughout the film without ever losing sight of her charming youthfulness."

"The delicate and precise camera work from director Chris Noonan capturing the stunning British scenery and the engaging tragic romance, coupled with the brilliant acting from Renée Zellweger sums up to a powerful story, that quite frankly, more people should know about."

New York Times Review of Miss Potter

"This much sweetness and light in a movie is all very well. But there's a reason that recipes for cake and cookies call for a pinch of salt. In "Miss Potter," there is only a grain or two - not enough to dilute the sugary overload. The film is the cinematic equivalent of a delicate English tea cake whose substance is buried under too many layers of icing." To a point, I agree with the New York Times thoughts, Mrs. Potter is a sweet movie, although I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Miss Potter - Movie Reviews for Parents

"...this is the story of Miss Potter -- not "The Tale of Peter Rabbit." While children may appreciate the movie's inclusion of some clever animation techniques that add a whimsical touch to Potter's drawings, the plot will most likely appeal to teens and adults who enjoy a tender romance. But most of all, for those who have always admired the artist's subtle drawings and her somewhat unusual children's stories, this film offers a fitting tribute to Beatrix and her creatures."

Miss Potter Movie Review by The Movie Mom

"As delicate as the title character's watercolors, this gentle story about the author and illustrator of The Tale of Peter Rabbit is very winning...Some may dismiss the film as too twee and "Masterpiece Theatre"-ish. But those who come with a little patience and an open heart will find themselves moved by seeing Beatrix discover her strength and embrace the world. And those who think of her as just a painter of pretty pictures and a teller of pretty stories will find themselves inspired by her pioneering work on behalf of the environment."
