Miss Potter  Rating: Rating:  - Miss Potter is delightful!Renee Zellweger is absolutely charming in this lovely rendition of Beatrix Potter. I was very fortunate to have visited the Lake District and to visit Beatrix Potter's farm. This movie reminded me of how magnificent the countryside is and her efforts to preserve the beauty of this area brought back some wonderful memories. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll clap your hands as if you were reading her books for the first time. Rating:  - A wonderful family movie!I watched this movie with my eleven-year-old granddaughter, and both of us enjoyed it immensely. The acting is excellent, and the story is both humorous and sometimes sad. In other words, the screenplay does a nice job of portraying the realities of life that affect each of us today, even though the movie is set in the early 20th century. For children, and even adults, the movie teaches about life and social mores in a bygone era, especially about the limited opportunities that were available to women at that time. Beatrix Potter was able to break down many barriers in her lifetime, and left us the wonderful gift of her books which are as beloved by children today, as during her own lifetime. I definitely believe that many of the challenges that Beatrix faced in her lifetime are still being faced by women today. This movie portrays the triumph of Beatrix's own life story in a way that can give hope and inspiration to women both young and old, and should be shared with those that you love. A wonderful movie! Rating: - Inspiration for young artists and writersPlenty of reviews on this site testify to the marvelous quality of this film, and its extraordinary performances. And there is no doubt that the film is a pure delight to watch. What I want to point out is that this is an excellent film for young writers and artists, as it is the story of how a young woman with considerable talent fights for recognition and finally receives it. Her story is exceptional, but then again it is not, because writers and artists do achieve success all the time. However the struggles of the beginning artist are considerable, and the need for faith throughout one's career never ends. I heartily recommend this film to anyone who wants to write, to paint, to dance, to sing, to do anything creative, and especially to those who are up against opposition from family and friends. . You will find the film comforting and affirming. And as others have indicated here, its an extraordinarily fine and wondrously enjoyable film. Rating: - Miss PotterExcellent presentation of Beatrix Potter's life and publication of her many pictures and stories with 'living' animals and life's experiences. Artwork is beautiful; historical setting is accurate; photography is magnificent. Older children, and adults, will thoroughly enjoy the portrayal of parents who want the best for their children, but who restrict their expressions of individual personalities and talents. Should be in every library of worthwhile DVDs. |
