Miss Potter
The life of Beatrix Potter is the most enchanting tale of all.
Children's author and illustrator Beatrix Potter may've had a penchant for fluffy bunnies and bonnet-donning ducks, but Renée Zellweger plays her like a bull in a silk bustle in Miss Potter. It's perfect casting for this charming and inspiring story of a woman who strains against her corseted existence in the 1900s, to fulfil a childhood dream. Chris Noonan (who last directed Babe) conveys all the whimsy of her inner world, although apparently, at the expense of major supporting characters.
