Title: not good for Streep
Product review: I don't have a problem with Meryl Streep. She turned in her usual outstanding performance and deserves the Oscar. Certainly she didn't have much to work with. The screenplay was awful!The movie opens with Thatcher as an elderly woman. Then it flashes back to her childhood, when she got into Oxford and when she met Denis Thatcher. My problem is the back and forth between elderly woman and MP and Prime Minister. They spent too much time on her as an elderly woman and less on her rise in Parliament. Also, they kept bringing Denis' ghost back after he died and that really confused things!Don't waste your money buying this. Nothing against Streep, but she should have had some input into the screenplay. They didn't touch much on her political career at all. They didn't explore her friendship with Reagan or her relationship with the Queen. Get this on DVD. It's not worth the money and I wish I hadn't bouught it. I couldn't even finish it!
