If ever there's a film that does justice to her, you won't like it.

I agree she is certainly charismatic and I've met her only once..when she snapped at me and I wilted as many a Tory has...but the most charismatic ???

JK ! ..really.

ps: she did have the most extraordinary perfect white skin.

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.
