The Iron Lady

[superhero]

Will the power of Meryl Streep and british prime ministers mean it wins awards again?

Tells the story of a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is pa*d for power, and is a surprising and insightful portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman.

Well looks like Meryl for Oscar glory then!

The trailer looked like a parody, I can't imagine this film being great, even if Meryl Streep offers a solid performance, which from the footage it seems is veering wildly into an impression more than acting.
I like that the trailer has a speech therapy scene, in a completely shameless manner.

trailr does look parodic, though perhaps the intention was to make the audience double-take.

Where was the mention of Margaret Thatcher's victims?
Meryl Streep, who plays Thatcher in The Iron Lady, invited me back for apple pie after a screening. But that didn't lessen my hatred for the former Tory leader
