The Iron Lady
Drama105 min
Meryl Streep is Margaret Thatcher in a portrait of the former British prime minister that moves between her years in office and the private life that surrounded them. In 1980s Britain, Thatcher rises through a political world shaped by class, party conflict, and decisions that reach from Westminster to the Falklands War. Jim Broadbent’s Denis Thatcher remains a steady presence at home, while Alexandra Roach takes on Thatcher’s earlier years. Cabinet battles, public speeches, and domestic scenes sit side by side as the film traces the pressure, isolation, and personal cost attached to power.
