Iron Lady, The

While hallucinating about the death of her devoted, supportive husband (Jim Broadbent) due to cancer in this historically fascinating, factually inspired, star-dotted (Richard E. Grant, Iain Glen, and Anthony Head) biopic film highlighted by an Oscar-caliber performance and remarkable makeup, Oxford-educated, strong-willed, tenacious, conservative Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep) reminisces about working in the grocery shop of her middle-class parents as an ambitious young lady (Alexandra Roach), meeting and dating her smitten husband (Harry Lloyd) and raising their fraternal twins (Eloise Webb and Alexander Beardsley), and breaking down the political barrier of the stuffy old boys' network to serve 11-1/2 years as the prime minister of Great Britain between 1979 and 1990.
