dana c As usual, Meryl does a meticulous job of reflecting the perspective of her character. The root of MT's personality was exposed. The relentlessness was represented fairly by showing from whence her nature is cultivated and how in some instances it can be an asset. Conversely , the movie honestly examines the cold, shallow thoughts that support such a stern perspective. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Ricardo B Graças à espetacular atuação de Meryl Streep e um glorioso trabalho de maquiagem, "A Dama de Ferro" entrega uma das mais impressionantes interpretações de uma figura histórica já feitas para o cinema. Infelizmente, esse potencial é desperdiçado em um drama biográfico raso, que nunca ousa em explorar e se aprofundar nas questões políticas que uma personalidade tão controversa quanto Margaret Thatcher poderia proporcionar. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Robert Y To show the entire life of a towering figure of demonstrated strength, decisiveness, intellect and historical significance entirely through the lens of her dementia in later life is a substantial distraction from her life story and achievements. It takes the edge off her story as though the director was trying to diminish her capabilities and achievements. btw, Meryl Streep was outstanding and made the film. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review helder f The movie is rather heavy on the anguish of memory loss and the confusion between past and present to a point that the biography of her most relevant years ( in the public domain) falls a bit flat. Great scenes, undoubtedly, but as a whole the movie doesn’t really blend. We can’t be simultaneously worried about the old lady who’s frail and confused and remember that her stronger years. That constant back and forth is exhausting and doesn’t allow the space to appreciate one or the other. The same could be said about her perspective and other perspective about her. We get to see how she feels and remembers, and suddenly we see that her daughter seeing her in the current time at times to realize she was confused. I think all these different angles make the movie a bit unreadable and uncomfortable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Gareth v While the performance of Streep makes this worth investing in, be prepared this is a slog at times with it's story that goes nowhere. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Paul G A missed opportunity. The focus was mostly on Mrs Thatchers failing memory and her talking to her dead husband with some flashbacks of her past. The focus really should have been on her career and accomplishment's which would have made for a superior film. The acting was very good. unfortunately it was the wrong script.
