Streep was as solid as iron but the film was not.

The most important thing to understand about The Iron Lady before watching it is that it’s not aiming to only appeal to those part of the Conservative Party that Margaret Thatcher led for so many years, and nor does one have to like her to get full enjoyment out of this film. Meryl Streep chosen for the role of Thatcher is literally like fate meets the eye as one of the most powerful film actres... read more

I maintain that Meryl Streep should not have been given an Academy Award nomination for The Iron Lady. How dare I! And I would tend to agree. Streep never turns in a half-assed or bad performance, and her technique is beyond words. And, yes, she is a paragon, a veritable living monument to what great acting can be, should be, and is. But the film fails to completely use her as a resource. Granted,... read more

Whilst I was engaged by Streep and Broadbent's performance, the film is horribly flawed. A lack of focus on a particular aspect of Thatcher's life makes for a disjointed mess of a film. Many key characters of Thatacher's administration are underused, such as Anthony Head. We seem to see an image of Thatacher that just didn't quite happen in that way. I might be in the minority here, but I would pr... read more

The Grocer's Daughter

“I think that "The King's Speech" is a decent movie, and so is this. It's more watchable than "Lincoln", at least, which is a 19th-century quasi-biblical affair. And, as much as I prefer the Cinderella side of life, even Disney is not iron-fisted about what is and is not a Princess thing, if that makes sense. (And, she wasn't Queen, so....)

And the side of it on her husband and the state of her mental health.... was possible to relate to, I think.

And you have to give her some credit for saving Britain from anarchy, of course.

Although I still prefer the White Album. It's complicated.

"Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher (a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990. During her time as prime minister, Thatcher's strict conservative policies, hard line against trade unions and tough rhetoric in opposition to the Soviet Union earned her the nickname the "Iron Lady") suggested by Gaby "

2012 Movie Diary - October (23 movies items)

"Queen Meryl. I really did like this film! I didn't expect to but I did, it was brilliant. I loved Olivia Coleman too, and Jim Broadbent. Also, it was nice to see the woman behind the politician. But I don't think Meryl deserved her Oscar for this role, it should have been given to Viola Davis for her role in The Help. "
