I didn't know where to place such a question, but finally I've chosen this section of Your forum. I hope that it wasn't a big mistake If yes - I'm really sorry. This is a paragraph from Miss Potter review.

"...Beatrix becomes friends with Norman’s sister Millie (Emily Watson), another free spirit who always speaks her mind. Millie isn’t married, and together the women discuss the joys of being single and not being bossed about by a man — until Beatrix accepts Norman’s proposal of marriage. So much for sisters doing it for themselves."

I don't understand the last sentence and I've got to translate the review into my mother tongue.

I've got yet another question concerning the same review.

"There are no rough edges to her personality; nothing dark or revealing is on display. But this film wants it both ways: to show us a modern woman who dares to break with convention, but not to give her stance any consequences."

I wonder who in the above paragraph doesn't want to give Miss Potter's stance any consequences. She herself or the film? For me this sentence is quite ambiguous

Please, help me if You can. I'd appreciate especially native speakers' replies, but all ideas are welcome

Thank You in advance!

Judyta.

Thank You very much! You helped me a lot As for my second question, I'm happy that Your reply is what I assumed. As for the first one, I didn't expect that it could be a part of lyrics, although I think that my assumptions concerning the sentence' s meaning were also right. So, once again thanks a lot!

Best wishes,

Judyta
