The Iron Lady



I feel this movie did not show enough on the political side of her life, and to think of all the material they had to work with. Yet I did enjoy it! as always, the performance by Meryl Streep was flawless. I am happy she won a Golden Globe for best actress in a drama. This movie is worth watching for her portrayal alone.

What a distinctive, practical, revolutionary individual Margaret Thatcher was - yet this movie managed to provide little political substance nor enlightenment into the personal struggles and achievements this woman managed to deliver and experienced throughout her journey as the first female leader of a country which at the time was one of the most patriarchal, class based, yet economic leaders of the western world. To me it was based more on what her life is like today.
