Iron Lady

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie – the acting was superb, Meryl Streep is amazing. The cinematography and writing were also excellent. However, if you're looking for a documentary about Margaret Thatcher this is not the movie for you. And, if you have no idea who Margaret Thatcher is you will probably find the movie quite boring. The movie basically is about Prime Minister Thatcher in the last years of her life struggling with dementia – the memories of her life and career come back to her in bits and pieces – flashbacks and reminiscing. I do believe the movie could have focused a little bit more on her career and events during her reign as Prime Minister, but then again it would not have been the same emotional and heart tugging movie that it is. I definitely recommend it if you know who Margaret Thatcher is.. Or you are a Meryl Streep fan.
