Movie of the week – “The Iron Lady”

In the month where the citizens of the world woke up by the sound of Margaret Thatcher’s death it’s mandatory to watch / re-watch her autobiographic movie "The Iron Lady", directed by Phyllida Lloyd, praised for her work in opera and the movies Mamma Mia! and Abba. There’re those who might know her career enough: her politics ideology and the way she had run England over 11 years ( 1979 – 1990), but this movie is a great opportunity to see first an amazing actress Meryl Streep, who won the oscar in 2012 for the role, second London’s street frames and the parliament in the 80’s marked by the end of Cold War.

Also, the script is fairly-good: Maggie the grocer’s daughter who became Secretary of State for Education, Leader of the Conservative Party and the first and only woman Prime Minister in the country’s history.

Though not all measures were popular, quite normal as far as politics concerns - she was harshly criticized during Falklands War - the movie articulates her foremost politics and sociological memoirs. Maggie’s weaknesses and strengths are revealed in a strong movie as the character itself, with roundtrips from youth to mental illness. 4/5.
