Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady

February 9, 2012

The subject of the film works against Ms. Streep. Many people will confuse their feelings about Margaret Thatcher with the work Ms. Streep has done, and that is unfortunate. I’ve seen the film, and I think this is one of the great performances in the history of film. This is not simply mimickry but the embodiment of an entire political orientation, the modern conservative. Streep’s artistry is magnificent.
