Do your homework and don't dump it here.
LONDON, UK — Trailing kudos and controversy , "The Iron Lady" — the biopic about former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher — is many things.
It is the role of an artistic lifetime for Meryl Streep, who delivers arguably her greatest performance.
It is a true exploration of aging and grief.
It is a film that continues a burgeoning trend: a positive reassessment of Thatcher's life by the kind of left-wing, publicly funded artists the former British PM was reputed to hate. The BBC's "The Long Walk to Finchley," a drama worth seeing, kick-started the trend a couple of years back.
In this new-era of reassessment, Thatcher is portrayed as a feminist class-warrior, fighting the prejudices of the male, privately-educated, Oxbridge elite that ran the Conservative Party when she first joined up. The tools she fights with are different, but much of her struggle takes place in the late '40s and early '50s before the better known arsenal of feminist politics had been mooted.
