Last night I watched Miss Potter. It is a movie about the life of Beatrix Potter and the romance between her and her publisher. Beatrix comes from a rich, upper class family in the early 20th century, who do not approve of her art, or her being an author, or her publisher. She must choose between her family and what she loves.
I really like this movie, Renee Zellweger does a great job as Beatrix and the rest of the cast does a good job supporting her. The story is so sweet and sad. It gives you a taste of how extraordinary Beatrix Potter really was. One of the things that this movie does well is bringing the drawings to life so you see what Beatrix does when she draws. It is really well done and not over the top.
I would recommend this movie if you loved Beatrix's books as a kid or if you love a good love story. It is a great family film as well.
IMDB: "Factual errors: Norman actually proposed to Beatrix in a letter, and her parents never softened their opposition to the match." But the factual liberties they took were not that out of character.
