The Iron Lady

An intimate look at Margaret Thatcher, the first and only female Prime Minister of The United Kingdom.

Meryl Streep is amazing.  She is to Margaret Thatcher as Helen Mirren in to the Queen of England.  Such a magnificent job. Not only Meryl Streep but the entire cast really stepped up and owns their characters. Jim Broadbent and Harry Lloyd are both fabulous in their own right.

The story overall is fascinating and historically accurate, however much like that of J. Edgar it is told in flash backs and flash forwards and still slightly drags. If told as a linear story it would have been extremely boring.  Still the acting alone makes it worth seeing.

*** Must See


Rated PG-13 (language and some violence)
