Thought the film was awful to be honest. Did Streep get lessons on Thatcher elocution from Steve Nallon? The constant 'flash backs' just confused matters and became a complete mess. Anthony Head and Jim Broadbent were very good though.
The worst scene though was right at the beginning with MT going out for some milk. It was just a plot device for later on when she said she knew the prices of butter and therefore was a cynical piece of storytelling, as well as being totally unbelievable (no one would recognise her? where was her security?).
I'm not really a fan of Thatcher, but that could be the years of bias and indoctrination from growing up in a Socialist household.
