The Iron Lady

Girl: I just did some dumbbell exercises and my hands are aching. Haha, random I know. Anyway, we finally caught a movie after...2-3 weeks of hard work and much lesser time together due to the boyfriend's peak period. Now that he has left that place for greener pastures and have a whopping 3 weeks break, we made use of the time we have together to catch up on things we love best.

I suggested watching The Iron Lady since I was keen in the story since I heard about it. & the fact that Meryl Streep won best actress the night before at Oscars reaffirmed my decision.

To be honest, I think the plot is so-so. I think they emphasized too much on her fragility when she was old and played down on her glorious days as the only female prime minister in Britain. I much enjoyed watching her speak (in her very very charismatic style) and debate as compared to her mumbling and hallucinating in her later days.

That being said, I think Meryl Streep's performance was superbly outstanding! She was no doubt the perfect star to play that role. & I think she outweighed the whole plot with her splendid performance. Totally deserved her Oscars!

Girl's Rating: 3/5 (but a 5/5 for actress' performance)
Boy's Rating 2.5/5
