not earth
shattering,
but an
enjoyable film
nonetheless
Alex London
An excellent
period drama,
although
Beatrix Potter
does sometimes
seem to be a
little too
Bridget Jones.
gazman
As a romance it
succeeds but
Beatrix Potter
was an amazing
woman whose
life and
achievements
have been sold
short by this
movie.
Richard
Not true to
life.
Ros Dunbar
A beautiful,
amazing film.
Thoroughly
enoyed it.
Dave L
Excellently
cast and acted.
A good evening
out with the
wife or girl
friend - but
take a box of
tissues with
you!
Madeline
What a lovely
film. Magical,
inspiring and
dramatic, I
had a mighty
blub too!
5/5.
tracy Cook
this was the
best film I
have seen in
years.
stella walter
i would love to
go see it it
looks brilent
Colin
I really
enjoyed this
film. A simple
story well
told. No car
chases,
explosions or
violence. It
captures the
early 1900s
and the social
mores really
well. I'll
remember this
movie long
after I've
forgotten
recent 'blockbu
sters'.
Definitely
worth four
stars.
Stephen Rowley
Not for all
but certainly
worth a look
if you are a
fan of the
books. For a
film that has
been slammed
by the critics
I know a lot
of people who
have
thoroughly
enjoyed it.
Go see it,
you'll like it
I promise!
Lindsay
A lovely, sweet heart-
warming film, with a
delightful portrayal of
Beatrix Potter's life, and
an insight into her
imagination, and the
characters she called her
friends.
Calum Price
Great story,
great acting,
great film...
Renee
Zellweger and
Ewan McGregor
are amazing
than ever.
They're far
more better
than they were
in Down With
Love. 10/10
m
brilliant
acting, well
cast.
great animation
sequences.
romantic,
tear-jerker and
funny.
forget the
teen-movies see
another great
british film.
David S
Whimisical but
enjoyable
nonetheless.
However I
can't help
thinking that
Ms Zellwegger
has cornered
the market in
playing frumpy
single English
woman who
aspire to work
in publishing.
flanka
Beautifully
produced, this
is a tour de
force by Renee
Zellweger who
confirms her
status as one
of the most
versitile
actors
currently
working. A
wonderfull
evocation of a
gentle, if
pampered,
lifestyle
which portrays
Potter as a
truely
remarkable
woman.
A. Questioner
Does the film
even mention
that she was a
groundbreaking
scientist?
Of course the
Royal Society
paid no
attention to
her. The mere
idea of a woman
scientist was
an
impossibility.
Sadly it seems
to be
ridiculous to
the director
now. A woman
scientist? Who
would be
interested in
that? Rabbits?
Mice? Let's
Disneyize her!
Pity the idea
of women +
science still =
threatening to
so many people.
P Macey
An excelent,
hand-crafted,
quality film
destined to be
a regular
family
favourite at
holiday time.
Fantastic
Lakeland
scenery,
sensitive
acting and a
sympathetic
and
interesting
interpretation
of the life of
Miss Beatrix
Potter.
It is a film
that will be
appreciated by
anybody who
has enjoyed
her books.
Even steam
train
enthusiasts
will find
something to
enjoy in this
delightful
film.
tim brown
a beautifully
made film from
start to finish
martin kimber
Ok, so I
watched it in
Lake District
this week with
my legs still
burning from
climbing one
of its highest
points the day
before with my
oldest son,
and we still
have his Peter
Rabbit cup
from 20 years
ago as a
standbye when
all others are
in the
dishwasher,
but I smiled
as soon as
this film
started, kept
smiling and
laughing thru
several bouts
of moist eyes
and a crusty
old cynic was
won! See it
Andy Chalmers
A national
treasure...
destroyed.
How sad it was
to witness one
of the most
important
woman's story
abused in this
fashion. This
was a film
that was so
easy to make a
success, with
the backdrop
of the lake
district
scenery and
such a great
story to tell.
Instead we
have an
Edwardian
Bridget Jones
meets a super
cast of
British
actors - whom
have no
dialogue to
work with.
Distressing !
Cheffy
I saw a
preview
screening of
this film.
Its delightful
in all
respects - a
great family
film.
Wonderful
acting and
beautifully
filmed.
Highly
recommended.
Claire
I usually like
Zellweger but
she was truly
cringeworthy
in this. Ewan
was perfect
but the
director
seemed to
lack, well
direction for
this film.
Don't expend
much effort to
see this. Kids
will be bored
to tears.
Anne Barker
Zellweger as Miss
Potter is inspired, and
McGregor gives a
nuanced
performance. Phyllida
Law's cameo as the
Warne matriarch was
notable. Judicious
animation didn't
offend against taste.
Beautifully filmed, the
story of Miss Potter's
thwarted love is
definitely a tear-
jerker.
michelle dennett
British
historical
films, should
be portrayed
by a british
actress. I
disagree with
Ms Zellweger
playing Miss
potter.
Elaine
Beautifully
shot and well
acted
throughout. A
real treat.
phil
'Nice' Not
great or
particularily
bad but
very... nice.
Refreshing
change from
the normal dum
violence on
offer though.
Major problem
is putting
Zellweger up
against Emily
Watson who
acted her off
the screen and
should really
have been cast
in the title
role.
michael
Complete and
utter gash
Tierney
this looks
great I can't
wait for it to
come out. Me
and some of my
friends are
going to see
it when it
comes on screen
