On the surface it looks like you will get to see the portrayal of the Margret Thatcher Britain remembers, the strong willed, ruthless and some times cold hearted woman that put the miners out of work and broke Britain's back. But in this film we see Margret at the end of her life as a lonely old woman clinging onto the memory of her late husband. I think that sometimes the auidence are drawn into looking at her as a very old lonely old woman and to almost feel sorry for her but be that as it may as the film progresses we see Margret's flash backs from when she was a teenager to the resigning as Prime Minister. It looks over all aspects of her time including the miners strike and more interestingly The Falklands War.
Overall I did enjoy the film due down to the acting... Meryl Streep played Margret Thatcher beautifully even mimicking her voice. When watching her you felt that you were infact watching Maggie athatcher after a while and the star of this film has to be Jim Broadbent as Dennis Thatcher, he was a joy to watch from start to finish... where was his Oscar??? I think that if you are going to watch this film, watch it with an open mind. Maybe as someone who never experienced life under Thatcher's rule I went into this film with no prior emotions, although I have heard nightmare stories about the great handbag herself!
I would recommend watching this film amd so would give it 3 stars out of 5.
