The TVI Take
Phyllida Lloyd's 2011 Margaret Thatcher biographical film anchored by Meryl Streep's third Best Actress Oscar. The structural commitment to interleaving present-day-dementia register with flashback-political-career material is uneven, but Streep's transformation work (vocal, physical, mannerism precision) is canonical lead-actress-performance material.
