Miss Potter - Movie Review


Just watched Miss Potter yesterday.

Yes... I went blur too. Potter? Harriet Potter? No lah... its the author of Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter. Sounds a little more familiar?

"The Tale of Peter Rabbit" is a children's tale wonderfully drawn and written by Beatrix Potter. Her art has become one of the most well known icons for merchandise from Great Britain.

We both found the movie to be quite good. Sweet and simple, moving in some parts. not enough to cause us to tear, but good enough that we felt for the characters. It's been a while since we watched Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor act together in "Down with Love". Their chemistry just works on screen.

We were quite lucky to watch the movie in an empty cinema at The Cathay. Quite scary, actually, when I tried to book for tickets for this show, there were many occupied seats shown on screen, but when we arrived, the cinema was empty. Spooky...

Yes... Once again, it is a story about an author who writes... fantasy. Well I consider stories about clothed rabbits fantasy. I remain inspired... but still trying to get my story down. Hee hee... lots of excuses.
