Miss Potter portrays the life of the best-selling British children’s book author ]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrix_Potter] Beatrix Potter[/url].  Many authors invent fantastic stories while leading relatively boring lives. Mrs. Potter falls into this category.  A film about her life has very little drama to work with.  Not much happens on the screen. This is the first time I was able to write a report on the plane while watching this film. I guess that is not much a compliment.
