    Very depressing movie! Although Meryl Streep is an excellent actress and the history interesting.

    Brilliant! Incredible portrayal of Margaret Thatcher. Meryl Streep is totally believable. Touchingly addresses her tragic descent into dementia from Alzheimer's with cuts from present to memories of her hey-day in her career as Prime Minister. A must see film!!!

    Meryl was superb as Margaret Thatcher. She was certainly deserving of her Oscar nomination. In addition, the film is a fascinating look back at a historic moment in British politics. You come to appreciate the position this woman found herself in and how she got there. I found the flashbacks very effective in this regard. It may be a bit dry and melancholy for some, however it is a very touching look back at life from the perspective of one nearing its end. We see how Margaret winds up with only her memories of the best times of her life. Although the politics of the era are interesting in their own right, they actually take a back seat to one special woman's life.
