Title: Sqaundered Opportunity
Product review: Such a waste of resources! Maggie Thatcher is one of my heroes and I was so looking forward to seeing at least a semi-accurate portrayal of her by Hollywood's most accomplished actress. What I saw instead was a dispiriting depiction of a mere shadow of the "Iron Lady". For the first 20 minutes of the film we must endure an image of the stooped, aged, confused figure of the former Prime Minister wandering from room to room and trying to outwit her keepers for the occasional solo stroll to the corner convenience store. I breathed a sigh of relief when the film finally transitioned to a younger portion of her life. But the respite was frustratingly brief. The film continued its bewildering "ping-pong" format throughout to its vacuous conclusion. I don't mind flashbacks, but this film is a haphazard muddle of fact and fancy that pays little or no homage to the towering historical figure of the great lady its title purports to depict.
