Action Biography Drama History

6.4 / 10

Elderly and a virtual prisoner in her own home due to her concerned staff and daughter Carol, Margaret Thatcher, Britain's first woman prime minister, looks back on her life as she clears out her late husband Denis's clothes for the Oxfam shop. Denis is seen as being her rock as she first enters parliament and then runs for the leadership of the Conservative Party, culminating in her eventual premiership. Now his ghost joins her to comment on her successes and failures, sometimes to her annoyance, generally to her comfort until ultimately, as the clothes are sent to the charity shop, Denis departs from Margaret's life forever.

This film is not good. Anything that celebrates the life of Thatcher is a disgrace to British culture, she was an awful human being. Fuck the producers of this film for portraying her as a role model; next time do your research. - @Wednesday, July 26, 2017 12:11 PM

I don't know why she so celebrated she fucked the country and future generations by privatising every thing so the country will never be normal. More like the iron slag. She destroyed the industry put every Body out of work people actually starved and lost their house. Their unions destroyed their pensions taken. And she is celebrated? - @Sunday, January 19, 2014 9:05 PM

I agree, I think Streep tried to make her more feminine, thinking that naive audiences would see this as empowering, while in reality it makes her look weak. - @Friday, August 2, 2013 9:03 AM

Why does the Margaret Thatcher character come across as ever-so-slightly drunk and sort-of ditty in a soft way ? When you watch the real Margaret Thatcher, she is none-of the sort. Also, Meryl Streep's body language is often saucy, which Margaret Thatcher never was. For the rest, I think she did a very good job. - @Saturday, May 11, 2013 10:37 PM

I never understood why Hollywood is so in love with her. Her performances are always boring and bland. Thank goodness actresses like Jennifer Lawrence and Megan Fox are around to show what real good acting is all about. Lawrence and Fox always give a very entertaining performance and make the price of admission for their movies well worth it. I will continue to make videos here on YouTube explaining why Megan Fox and Jennifer Lawrence are better than Meryl Streep. - @Sunday, April 28, 2013 8:26 PM

You and your fucking trade unions, mining was an outdated, unproductive form of industry which needed to obliterated for the overall good of the country. Look at Ireland they did a similiar thing and flourished economically. - @Tuesday, April 9, 2013 2:57 PM

The privileged should never be allowed to have power, because they do not understand it They do not understand what it is to work for power. Thatcher crippled Britain and disbanded the unions an unwise move of a petty conservative unable to cope with socialism. Her main problem was her inability to accept change, the Falklands war evidently proves this as she was clinging to a British empire that no longer existed. She was an Iron lady because she was iron headed and should not of had power - @Thursday, February 21, 2013 3:11 AM

No one was there to rape murder and pillage. The Argentine should then give back Argentina back to the original people who was there then. The country was already screwed before she was in power. Power cuts three day working weeks and unionist taking the piss. - @Monday, January 7, 2013 1:19 AM
