Two things work against this film.It's prone to political generalities and it's about someone we known of.Thats why it's a Meryl Streep Tour de force for her outstanding performance as Margaret Thatcher.I had to take 1 and 1/2 stars of for the above reasons but it still a worth while expense of your time to view.Released in 2011 and running 105 minutes its also annoying to have flash back and forwards but it seems necessary to cement a certain feel for the drive that possessed Thatcher.The film also covers some tough times in her term and doesn't shun the hint of later dementia.Alexandra Roach was a pleasant surprise as young Margaret and I hope to see more of her in the future.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.The only thing the film skillfully dodges is the hint of something,em,hidden,between her and Ronald Regan.
An elderly Margaret Thatcher talks to the imagined presence of her recently deceased husband as she struggles to come to terms with his death while scenes from her past life, from girlhood to British prime minister, intervene.
