Surprisingly Gluck and Patrick Burleigh’s screenplay has knowing fun with responses to the first film. It may not be for the Beatrix Potter purists and has a scattershot quality, but remains enjoyable for its brisk 93 minutes. It’s fun and frenetic with little in the way of chamomile tea and more in the way of Domhnall Gleeson having a boxing match with David Oyelowo. Will Gluck’s follow-up to his mostly likeable original is pretty much the same formula as before but pushes the meta-quality even further.


Perhaps the first big-name casualty of pandemic cinema closures, Peter Rabbit now gets to hop again.
