Miss Potter
Rating = B
I learned some interesting things
about Beatrix Potter in this movie, and I always enjoy learning more about
the Victorian era in England when upper class women were supposed
depend on a husband for everything.
I didn't enjoy Ranee Zellweger so much in this film. When I first
saw her in a movie, in “The Whole Wide World,” her facial
mannerisms seemed perfect for the role of a 1930s school teach. As
the years have gone by, these mannerisms have become awfully
repetitive and unoriginal. Emily Watson was also in “Miss Potter,”
and I suspect she would have made a lot more of the Miss Potter
role.
