Liam's Recent Reviews


The Iron Lady The Iron Lady PG-13
Positives - some strong and moving moments, she sounded and resembled Thatcher somewhat, but overall I was not very impressed. The film wastes FAR too much time covering her later condition and not nearly enough time showing her vast and unmatched accomplishments, her most powerful speeches, and her impressive leadership and interactions with her contemporaries. It was clearly either written by somebody who doesn't believe in this woman's legacy the way she deserves to be remembered, or somebody too shallow to understand the importance of what she did for Britain or for the world. Margaret Thatcher is the greatest. She did more and showed us a better way on economics, geopolitics, and general governance. She saved her country and helped save the world. This film is too focused on the very things she would say are NOT the point - the cosmetic, the "feelings" etc. Not enough on thought. It's ironic that the film actually conveys this in a checkup scene with her doctor, yet the film itself then avoids the very thoughts that matter with Margaret Thatcher. She deserves much better than this.
