Title: Pass on this one
Product review: Streep gives her usual fine performance, although she sounds a bit like her rendition of Julia Childs. The real problem with this film is that it makes no attempt to teach us anything about Margaret Thatcher and how and why she came to be what she is. Instead the script dwells on ghosts, delusions, declining health, and what we are supposed to believe was an unreasonable, domineering drive. Unfortunately the film can be used to illustrate what we mean by a "Hollywood" version of a famous and influential person's life. Perhaps someday there will be an attempt to probe Mrs. Thatcher's life and the influences that made her who she became in a serious way, but this is not it.
