Quick review

The good
Zellweger’s ruddy cheeks, well-honed English accent, and comic timing are all perfectly suited to Potter’s eccentric character, the unusual mix of whimsical comedy and heart-breaking tragedy is surprisingly entertaining, Richard Maltby Jr’s debut script is a very British affair, despite his American roots
The bad
The cutesy directing from Chris “Babe” Noonan may grate with some, Beatrix’s lifelong struggle with the Royal Botanic Society is a curious omitted from the story, the anorexic special features package
Verdict
Mixing whimsical comedy and heart-breaking tragedy, Miss Potter is very much a movie for adults despite its “U” certificate
