ReviewsCharlotte Observer - Lloyd finesses a deft script of brisk, quick strokes by Abi Morgan (BRICK LANE, SHAME) into a terrific entertainment., Time - The Iron Lady is a clever and oddly touching entertainment., New York post - Sincerely directed by one woman (Phyllida Lloyd, who did MAMMA MIA!) and smartly written by another (Abi Morgan), the film stars an unsurpassable Meryl Streep, whose ability to empathize with her characters has never been more gloriously impassioned than it is in this titanic performance.
Additional InformationTwo-time Oscar-winner Meryl Streep steps into the role of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in this biopic from director Phyllida Lloyd (MAMMA MIA!), and screenwriter Abi Morgan (TSUNAMI: THE AFTERMATH, BRICK LANE). Lloyd depicts the elderly Dame Thatcher replaying key moments in her life, graduating from Oxford to meeting Denis Thatcher (Denis Lloyd) to becoming BritainÆs first prime minister. Her life at number 10 Downing Street seeÆs Thatcher closing mines, dodging IRA hits, overseeing a war and building alliances with Airey Neave and Geoffrey Howe. This biopic is an uneasy combination of admiration for her leadership qualities and disappointment in her interpersonal skills. Cast include TYRANNOSAUR'S Olivia Colman, Oscar winning Jim Broadbent, with Richard E. Grant, and Anthony Head co-starring.
