Anne M

The acting was brilliant, but I must admit the movie did not meet my expectations. I felt it dwelt more on Lady Thatcher's failing health rather than her political life. There are many people living with dementia, but there are not many who made such a mark in history. Like her or not, this lady was exceptional for her time. The chance to tell her true story in film has been ignored.

Streep is brilliant, she is only working with what the writers, producers etc gave to her. There was a fair focus on her later years, but I thought it tied in well with her years as PM. Showed that she still has/had a sharp mind. Thatcher was ruthless, but she was doing what she thought was right, whether you agree with her convictions or not. I neither agreed or disagreed, as it didn't affect me. What did affect me was how Streep brought her to life, she deserves the title of Best Actress ever to grace a screen.

Meryl Streep is incredibly brilliant as Thatcher, perhaps her best ever performance. The movie however is very mediocre and at times quite boring.

What is Movie Buzz?

MovieBuzz rates which movies are trending within the MovieFIX community.

You can choose if you "Want to see" or are "Not Interested" in seeing the movie on the Homepage trailer player, or in the Movie Information page. After 20 votes, we tally these scores and create a percentage of how many people "Want to see" that movie.

We then take these scores and display the highest percentages in MovieBuzz. MovieBuzz only features movies from their trailer release to two weeks after they have released in cinemas. You can see the rankings on a 24 hour or a 7 day basis (use the radio buttons near the title to switch views).
