Title: A missed opportunity
Product review: The movie had a lot of promise but essentially fails if its task is to provide a fair portrayal of the former U.K. prime minister Thatcher. Ms. Thatcher's accomplishments are substantial and have influenced the world greatly. The movie's primary focus is her battle with Alzheimer's and the movie is a series of flashbacks as perceived through the veil of the illness. Why the illness is so important to the movie maker, I am not sure but I can only suspect a desire to diminish the stature of the prime minister or of her accomplishments. A chronological movie would have been a much more accurate portrayal. Mere minutes are spent on key events such as the battle of the Falklands, the end of cold war, and many others.Meryl Streep does a good job in her role as Ms. Thatcher as she often does in any role.You might find some nuggets of value in this movie but don't make it your sole source of information about Margaret Thatcher.
