Music reviews of Miss Potter
Music Review: Hidden Gem
Rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this movie at the request of my wife and the recommendation of a close friend. We both found this movie to be an absolute delight, with a wonderful story line, script, soundtrack, and superb acting. Yes, it was about the author and illustrator of the famous children's books, but moreso about her struggle as a woman to attain independence from her conservative family and recognition as a true artist, professional, and conservationist. The movie skillfully shows her eventually breaking the mold of ladies of her stature in the 19th centrury, who were expected to only look for suitable husbands and be versed in etiquette.
Description of Miss Potter
Dramatico are proud to announce the release of the original motion picture soundtrack to Miss Potter, on which Katie Melua performs "When You Taught Me How to Dance," the vocal adaptation of the orchestral theme tune. The soundtrack is an orchestral score composed by the award-winning Nigel Westlake (Babe) with additional music by Rachel Portman (Oliver Twist, Benny & Joon, Chocolat). The lush, romantic and beautiful score takes the listener on a journey through Beatrix Potter's life, the creation of her much-loved characters, her personal turmoil and the beauty of the Cumbrian countryside (where the film is predominantly set).Echoing the intents of the successful James Barrie biopic Neverland, the tale of fellow Victorian children's author Beatrix Potter frames her life through a distinctly modern prism. In this telling, the creator of Peter Rabbit shrugs off provincial restraints to become something akin to a feminist environmentalist, a notion that's deftly underscored in this hybrid orchestral soundtrack by Australian Nigel Westlake and Oscar-winning vet Rachel Portman. The former's cues tend towards shimmering washes of strings and winds, weaving a wintry atmosphere that's more wondrous than treacly, while Portman's three contributions are cast in more shaded, autumnal arrangements that suggest the interior struggles of Potter herself. The coda to this delicate, compelling suite is Katie Melua's haunting ballad "When You Taught Me How to Dance," a slice of gentle melancholy that serves the score well. --Jerry McCulley
