A Tour de Force

Just when I think Meryl Streep can't impress me anymore than she already has, here comes this performance which just blew me away! If I didn't know who she was, I never would have guessed she wasn't a British actor, so seamlessly does she slip into this role. She commands, no, demands your attention from the first minute she comes on the screen. Whether she is talking to her late husband or before Parliament, or declaring war, you cannot take your eyes off of her.
I admit to not knowing much about Margaret Thatcher, even though I was in college at the time she was elected Prime Minister. Although I don't agree with most of her political views, I do admire her for her tenacity and sheer determination. The lady had guts!
It is so sad that she now suffers from dementia, because I for one, would like to have known what she would think of this portrayal of her life. Would she approve of it? Would she disapprove of it? Either way, she most certainly would have an opinion on it!
I can't recommend this movie enough! Without a doubt, Meryl Streep gives THE performance of the year in it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
