The Iron Lady.
Even though it was very good casting, Parkinson, Howe, Foot etc very good and Meryl Streep did the best passable impression since Janet Brown, I think all this talk of oscars is way overboard, a weak film in many ways.
Making a film about dementia, and the subject still alive, just left me cold. Tried to mix it up with a sort of half-arsed biopic, and the whole thing suffered as a result. Lots missed out, and chronologically wrong. eg showing clips of the miners strike for the '81 riots.
Love her, or loathe her, Mrs T deserved better.
6/10
