The Iron Lady

On January 17 I saw The Iron Lady, a British film by the director who brought us Mamma Mia! (which coincidentally also starred Meryl Streep), Phyllida Lloyd. I am happy to say that this is a much better film than Mamma Mia!, and I think we can thank God for that.

We all know of Margaret Thatcher, the first female Prime Minister of the UK. Now Meryl Streep brings her to the silver screen in The Iron Lady, a biographical piece about the most polarizing figure in recent political history.
