There’s a lot to love about “Miss Potter.”  The whole movie is sweet and sentimental, with gorgeous landscapes, and well-defined characters.  It helps that it’s a true story, basically the biography of Beatrix Potter, the famous children’s book author.  Renee Zellweger is wonderful in the role – strong, sassy, and clever, a talent and a great mind who refuses to be confined by society’s definition of a young lady’s place.  Ewan MacGregor is her love interest, the young publisher assigned to her first book.  I love him – and we even are treated to a little bit of his singing voice.  It’s great to see how this woman emerged as one of the best loved authors of all time, and how she contributed to both the field of literature and her country for generations to come
