Unlike the MPAA we do not assign
one
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest,
depending on quantity and context.
The story of the life of Beatrix Potter (Renee Zellweger), the famous children's story writer, and how she overcame both a domineering mother and the chauvinism of Victorian England to become a best-selling author and blaze a trail for women writers. Also with Ewan McGregor, Emily Watson, Perdita Weeks and Bill Patterson. Directed by Chris Noonan. [1:32]

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we
started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were
not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many
older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please
keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period.
While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are
limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
