Miss Potter

[hamlyn]

so, what d'ya think?

I loved it. A nice warm fluffy film for a girl to see on a Saturday afternoon. Had me in tears. And I certainly wasnt the only one. Good cast, great acting, excellent cinematography, enjoyable music. Ticked all the boxes for me today.

I took my DD aged 10 to see this today. I was treating her to a 'girly' day without her brothers aged 8 and 7. We both really liked it. It was nice for me to take her on her own to see something a bit more grown up, as we usually all go to the cinema together, so watch something that the boys will enjoy. When I first saw the film advertised, I wasn't sure about the casting of Renee Zellwegger as Beatrix Potter, but she fills the role really well. The scenery was beautiful, the acting was really good, there was a little bit of humour, and sadness, great storyline. Really enjoyed it.

i want to go and see this with my mum poss this week

I might be going on Friday but don't fancy it really anyone want to convince me?

It depends on what you normally like. It's very 'proper' in terms of the dialogue and the way the characters conduct themselves, which was actually quite refreshing to watch. I was a bit concerned that DD might be bored, and me too for that matter, but we weren't. The story carries itself well enough to keep you interested. I think you'll enjoy it.

I kep meaning to go & see it - the book about the making of the film was written by my BIL's BIL.

Did they show alot of the background scenery (lake district) I would go and see it here in Germany if they do as that is where I grew up and spend all our holidays.

I'm right next to the lake district (will actually be watching in Ambleside) so thats nothing nvel to me IYSWIM.

Scenery was beautiful. Really hope to get to the lakes someday.

nikkie, Ambelside is lovely, the whole area is so beautiful. I never apreciated it when I lived there - couldn't wait to get away but now I really miss the hills and lakes! Better go and see Miss Potter!

I'm not going now !We are goint to watch 'The last king of Scotland'.Going to start a thread about it!

OHH part of it was filmed where we stayed on honeymoon - a very very lovely b and b - would highly recommened...just outside consiston!

hey glad others have liked this. I am still enjoying it, IYKWIM hamlyn in disguise!

Well we went to watch this in the end , it was bettter than I expected but Renee spoiled it for me .And why did the bloke who grew up on a farm in Cumbria have a yorkshire accent ?????
