Streep is a pleasure to behold; less so the rest of The Iron Lady.
70
Meryl Streep gives a fully realized portrait of British Prime Minister Thatcher in a biopic that values character over context.

Slant Magazine
The wonder and terror of Meryl Streep's performance in The Iron Lady is her formidable ability to nail the disheartening talents of not just Margaret Thatcher, but so many conservative politicians like her, who have a tremendous knack for changing minds and beckoning cheers while underlining their own rigid ignorance.

Variety
Fuzzy-headed biopic, which glosses over the former British prime minister's politics in favor of a glib, breakneck whirl around her career and marriage.

Let it be said that Ms. Streep is galvanizing, even as the film slogs through too much information and not nearly enough illumination.
