This film is based off the life of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013). Margaret speaks with her deceased husband, Denis Thatcher, while she tries to cope with her past and present.
This film was directed by Phyllida Lloyd. Yes, there are some historical inaccuracies used to provide a more dramatic flair. This film shows enough of her history for all audiences to understand without going into deep detail. It focus' more on Margaret confronting old age with the fierceness that she had in life. Unfortunately, the films focus also made her appear regretful and weak as opposed to how she was popularly known. It also shows a harsh side to her political views (mainly believing that the poor could achieve success without government assistance). It also takes time to show how she behaved in her day-to-day life. The make-up effects were great for making this film convincing. Meryl Streep prominently played the role of Margaret Thatcher. She was amazing in this performance. She gave a strange kindness to a woman who could be seen as stone-hearted. Jim Broadbent prominently played the role of Denis Thatcher. He was a great supporting actor.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! Even if it was poorly written, Streep's performance makes it worth a watch.
This film can be seen on Netflix Instant Que.
