Miss Potter Ratings & Reviews
匚卂尺ㄥ
March 4, 2025
I love this beautiful film, what a wonderful woman Beatrix Potter was, her life is a story in its self and this film tells it beautifully, Renee is fabulous in the role, she must have had some sort of spirit guidance from Beatrix, I wish more had been filmed in the gorgeous Lake District the scenes there were stunning, I’ve just watched it for a third time, a perfect Sunday afternoon film, I was lucky enough to visit Hill Top farm a few weeks ago, it’s truely magical, and to think her money from writing books about rabbits and ducks enabled her to buy all the beautiful land of the Lakes, fabulous story of a remarkable woman.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Rosenblatt
Enchanting, perhaps, but a long, long way from meaningful.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Miss Potter is as seamless, comfortable and tidy as a Peter Rabbit story, all scones and biscuits, quietly punctuated by tolerable naughtiness.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
If the source material is soft, the film then takes another punch with the casting of Renée Zellweger in the title role. She overflows with tics and twitches that make the author seem vaguely deranged.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
A grave disappointment.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Audiences who come with a little patience and an open heart will find themselves moved by seeing Beatrix discover her strength and embrace the world.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Miss Potter, right to the end, is the definition of a nice movie, and that makes it a genuine oddball in a universe of increasingly distressed and uncivilized pop culture.
Observer
Rex Reed
I found it slight but enchanting, which is not the same thing as slightly enchanting.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
The story really grows on you and it's very sweet and it's beautiful to look at.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
If the movie is respectful and factually informative, it's also tightly corseted -- in dramatic terms.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
It will certainly play well with older audiences and the kind of adolescent girls who draw faces in their O's.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Feels more lightweight than it should and simultaneously not magical enough.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
The film's wholesome, freshly scrubbed tedium suggests literary history drained of life and preserved in formaldehyde.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
The uncertain rhythms and stresses of the piece suggest that they didn't know whether they were making a romance, a biography or a bedtime story. Miss Potter is all three, of course. And all are very engaging -- and happily G-rated.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
All-too-tasteful film, which is apparently aimed at mothers and daughters with far too much time on their hands.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
This attractive, superficial stab at biography, with Renée Zellweger in the title role, is more concerned with a lonely woman's quest for acceptance and love than with an author's worldly achievements.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's a soft-focus picture of a woman who, surely, had a few more hard edges, but it's a thoroughly pleasant escape to another world.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Was Potter really the way Renée Zellweger plays her here? Let's hope so. Dreamy, exquisitely sensitive and yet oddly focused, it's a beautiful characterization.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
The overall effect is a solid one-hour love story followed by a dramatized Wikipedia entry.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Known in the United States for her whimsical books, Potter was an ecological champion in the United Kingdom. The film touches on this, but mostly it's a tender tale about yearning hearts and courageous idealism.
