Plot In 1902, suffocated by her social-climbing parents, Beatrix Potter (Zellweger) makes a bid for independence by taking her tale of Peter Rabbit to publishers. She finds support and the love of her life in Norman Warne (McGregor), but must brave opposition at home.Verdict Pitched awkwardly — neither for children nor cool young adults — it’s very sweet, very nice and just the thing for a girlie matinée with mum and nan.
