The Iron Lady is based on the life of former Birtish prime minister Margaret Thatcher. The movie is mostly in flashbacks starting from her younger days and showing some of the most remarkable events during her premiership. She became prime minister in 1979 and hold post for little over 11 years. Which makes her longest serving prime minister of UK. She handled the affairs of that period very firmly e.g – miners strike, Falkland war etc. The focus of the movie is mainly on the life Margaret Thatcher showing her determination to bring changes and what price she paid for achieving power. She was fondly called the Iron Lady by the Russians.
The Iron Lady makes a good watch mainly because of the amazing acting done by Meryl Streep. She has been able to match the accent and even the makeup was almost there. The film won to Academy (Oscar) awards for 2011 – best actress (Meryl Streep) and best makeup. If you are looking for content then there is nothing much to see.
I watched it today at Inox. Each ticket cost Rs 280. If you want to watch it in the theater in Bangalore, hurry up as it may not be available in theaters after this week.
