In “Shakespeare in Love” and “Finding Neverland,” filmmakers speculated about the creative processes behind two of the most famous pieces of English literature—“Romeo & Juliet” and “Peter Pan.” Before “Miss Potter” even starts, Beatrix Potter (Renee Zellweger in top neurotic-eccentric form) has already finished her most famous work (“The Tale of Peter Rabbit”) and is trying to sell it to a publisher of children’s books, F. Warne & Co.
