SUMMARY: "A look at the life of Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, with a focus on the price she paid for power." - As posted on IMDB.com. Retrieved on 01/27/2012.

STORY: "The Iron Lady is a surprising and intimate portrait of Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep), the first and only female Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. One of the 20th century's most famous and influential women, Thatcher came from nowhere to smash through barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male dominated world. -- (C) Weinstein" - As posted on RottenTomatoes.com. Retrieved on 01/27/2012.

STARRING: Meryl Streep, Jim Broadbent and Richard E. Grant.

REVIEW (AMATEUR): Title: [No Title] [5/5 stars]

"Although being released and being based on another british leader around the same time 'The Kings Speech' came out last year I think that it is worthy of the same reviews as the kings speech! Although I was apprehensive about an american portraying a british controversial character, I now coulnt think of anyone more finer to act as Margerate Thatcher, Meryl Streep did an absolute fantastic job and portrayed the emotion so well I was emotional in quite a few places, especially towards the end!"

"A great cast, fantstically written and fantastically acted! I loved every moment."

"I'm not in slightest bit interested in politics or even know much about Lady Margeret Thatcher but that doesnt mean you cant enjoy such emotion and heartbreaking scenes but also regardless of Thatchers controversial choices whilst in parliament she is an inspiration to women, the ambition she shows is amazing! Truly a brilliant movie!" - Written by "FiLmCrAzY" on RottenTomatoes.com. Retrieved 01/05/2012.

REVIEWS (CRITIC):

"Sincerely directed by one woman (Phyllida Lloyd, who did 'Mamma Mia!') and smartly written by another (Abi Morgan), the film stars an unsurpassable Meryl Streep, whose ability to empathize with her characters has never been more gloriously impassioned than it is in this titanic performance." - Kyle Smith, New York Post (link)

"The sharp economy of Lloyd's direction allows the incontestably great Streep to take impressionistic snatches of a life and build a woman in full. This is acting of the highest order." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone (link)

"Lloyd finesses a deft script of brisk, quick strokes by Abi Morgan ("Brick Lane," "Shame") into a terrific entertainment." - Roger Moore, Charlotte Observer (link)
