We saw this movie. The scenes where the story of the young and middle aged Thatcher was told were wonderful. But that was only about one third of the movie. The rest was nothing but a mish-mash of Alzheimers behaviors. It was very disrespectful of a great lady. I was unhappy that Streep won the Oscar but I suspect they gave it to her as she hadn't won in a long time. The Oscars are nothing but political. I hope someone makes a movie about Baroness Thatcher that shows how she ‘transformed’ Britain, if only for a short time. She was a real force for good in the world but had the wrong political ideology for the ‘celebrity culture’ that is dominant.

My wife and I saw the movie. I thought it was very well acted by Streep, but I found the movie boring and doozed off a few times. My wife had to wake me (probably due to my snoring. lol). I don’t know if they did a fair job or not, but I do know that Streep looked like Thatcher big time.
