‘ding dong’. Wonderful performance and highly enjoyable film that focuses largely on personal relationships rather than career. 4/5

Many familiar faces fill the cast and carry it well, overall stellar performances, the moments of lost memory are heart wrenching and superbly acted.
I found some of the audio effects unbearable at times eg hushed echoing of her children pleading.
Cinematography largely muted dullard tones seemingly catching a nostalgia of older cinema.

Thatcher (ignoring my own stance) undeniably polarised the nation, I myself knew some who vastly gained from her reign, while others, many others suffered.
Film seems to gloss over some of more interesting points, wherein her persona of iron lady was created is underplayed as a point but she carried this scene remarkably well ( but underplays her role in being first politician to create a persona , PR consultants and truly changed political game) .
The film does wonders to soften the ‘iron’ yet I struggle to forget the celebrations upon her death, understanding the reasoning yet saddened for her family and friends.
I found myself easily sympathising someone who was commonly compared to Hitler, the ravages and fragility of age are horrible.

The ending, I was honestly annoyed that it did not show the celebrations of her death, public opinion of her at the time and the ‘ding dong’
