Miss Potter

Synopsis

Whilst delighting generations of children with her books, Beatrix Potter kept her own story locked carefully away. Directed by Chris Noonan and starring Academy Award® winner Renée Zellweger (Bridget Jones’s Diary, Cold Mountain) and Ewan McGregor (Star Wars, Moulin Rouge!), Miss Potter is the enchanting love story inspired by Beatrix Potter’s life and love affair with her publisher Norman Warne.
