Loew Film: The Iron Lady

This new biopic examines the rise and fall of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Meryl Streep’s performance is astonishing and flawless, a masterpiece of mimicry complete with the basilisk stare and the tilted, faintly predatory posture. A look at the price of power; what emerges is a surprising and insightful portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman. D: Phyllida Lloyd, UK, 2011, 105 minutes

Programmed as part of the Saturday Loew arthouse series
