Zellweger performance ensures Miss Potter is a hit

RENÉE ZELLWEGER sheds her Bridget Jones role in a wonderful performance as children’s author Beatrix Potter in Miss Potter (Momentum, €24.99), which is beautifully directed by Chris Noonan.

Aside from the magic of her animal characters which are brought to life when Potter speaks to them, the action is rather limited as the 30-something dreamer plans to have her work published, but is constrained by her parents.
