I like Maragret Thatcher just fine, there are some moments in her career that are quite memorable. But you won't find 'em in this movie. Now, this is a good movie and it is based on Thatcher, but it's not really a traditional bio-pic, I mean you don't learn much of anything about her from the movie. The more you know going in the happier you'll be going out. But it's really a good film and contrary to "J Edgar", you can have effective make-up and still maintain a full range of facial expressions. The make-up here was exceptional, not that it made Streep look exactly like Thatcher, but that it made her look consistent throughout the aging process. And that's pretty much what the movie is about, not the many specific accomplishments or detriments, but how a person's drive and focus through life, their priorities, change with age. Sometimes changes occur too late for resolution, but they come, and without any regard for your ability to accept them.
