Miss Potter

As in Beatrix (no relation to Harry.) I recall the trailer of this in 2007 and recently found it on one of the movie channels. It features Renee Zellweger (whom I had forgotten was in the 1998 One True Thing*) and the delightful Ewan McGregor (wonderful and great voice in Moulin Rouge and underrated in The Ghost Writer, which I recommend). This is an interesting story about the publishing of Peter Rabbit  as well as a commentary on women's rights, which I applaud. (There is a peculiar drift into animation in some spots which I'm not sure adds to the story and of which I would like to know more.)

A very nice rental.

*P.S. To my relatives - The final movie I ever saw with my mother, who had already started to deteriorate.
