Why should you watch this movie? Two words. Meryl Streep. A multi-nominated Actress, Streep sometimes jokes that she also holds the title for the Oscar’s biggest loser. The Iron Lady might just bring an end to that losing streak. Her uncanny ability to mimic Thatcher’s intonation, facial expression, and mannerisms are so well done, you’d think you were watching the real Thatcher.

Thatcher’s politics is of course divisive and controversial. Politics aside, this movie weaves a riveting tale. Be inspired as you watch her bravely break into the world of men. She grew in power, and in strength, and till the end she continued her battle through life.
