The Iron Lady

OK, so Meryl Streep seems to be nominated every time she acts in something but don't hate her because she is good. Like or not, please respect the talent. Meryl immerses herself into every role which she performs and does it with style, grace and humility. This movie is no exception. Meryl brings the political and personal life of Margaret Thatcher to the screen. The love story between Margaret and Denis Thatcher (Meryl Streep and Jim Broadbent) is so beautiful. I can only hope that my own marriage stays as beautiful. This movie resembles the tumultuous political climate of Wisconsin and puts an interesting spin on both sides of the issues. I would also be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the wonderful acting of Alexandra Roach who plays the young Margaret Thatcher. The visually pleasing camera angles and filming of director Philipa Lloyd (previously directing Streep in the enjoyable Mamma Mia) are also a wonder to behold. I give this two thumbs up for peaking an interest in history and homage to a humble woman from New Jersey excellently portraying English royalty.
