The true story of the woman who created some of the most beloved characters in
children's literature comes to the screen in this
drama leavened with elements of
comedy and
romance.
Beatrix Potter (
Renée Zellweger) is a imaginative but gently eccentric woman living in the socially and intellectually confining circumstances of Victorian England.
Potter's wealthy parents are eager for her to marry a successful man and settle down, but she has ideas of her own, and has been writing and illustrating a series of stories for children centered around a character she calls
Peter Rabbit.
Potter's efforts to find a publisher for her stories prove difficult, but in time she finds a firm who agrees to give her book a chance, and
Norman Warne (
Ewan McGregor) is put in charge of the project. While
Warne is new to the publishing game, he believes
Potter has great talent and potential, and throws himself into the work with enthusiasm. A strong personal bond grows between
Potter and
Warne, and in time he asks her to marry him; however,
Beatrix's parents do not approve of
Norman, and she is forced to choose between her mother and father and the man she loves.
Norman's sister
Mille (
Emily Watson) urges
Beatrix to follow her heart, and she accepts
Norman's proposal, but fate has other plans.
Miss Potter was directed by
Chris Noonan, who created an international sensation with his first feature film,
Babe.
