Tories Assemble.

Earlier in the year The Iron Lady, a film about the life of everybody’s favourite female British Prime Minister, was released in cinemas. This one also did well at the Oscars with Meryl Streep winning best actress again, and to be fair to her, it was well deserved.

Streep is the best thing about this film; she makes the role her own and obviously has some passion about the story. However the film really isn’t perfect.

The main thing I found wrong with it is that it’s set in the present day where Thatcher is depicted as an aging woman with dementia who is looking back on her life. This is how they show the past events, in flashback form, which is okay but it can get a little irritating with all the switching from past to present and then back again.
