Title: The BIG SNOOZE
Product review: I very much like Meryl Streep, too, but this was one of the most BORING and negative films I've ever seen. I was determined to see it through to the end, but I was able to do so only by repeatedly putting it on "pause," then leaving the room to wash dishes or make a snack or read my horoscope. The film's structure - incessantly jumping back and forth between Ms. Thatcher's memories and her present mental state - did not make the story any better or more interesting either. That technique just made it harder to follow the story. I understand that Ms. Thatcher was perceived as a leader and a very strong woman (iron-willed), but this film presented a very unflattering portrait of her as a selfish and self-centered woman, whose attitude seemed to be "it's my way or the highway." The way she dressed down Geoffrey Howe (Anthony Head) at a cabinet meeting was brutal, rude, and insensitive, and just plain bully behavior.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
