Movie Haiku:English spinster shares her imaginary friends with the world after meeting a novice publisher (McGregor) who helps her break thru the constraints of Edwardian society. Jan loved learning the proto-feminist, proto-environmentalist details of Beatrix Potter’s life; Rich thought film walked the razor’s edge of “cute” but Zellweger won him over.
