Review: The Iron Lady
“Streep is lively, precise, and inventive in her mimicry (much like Kenneth Branagh, the lone standout in the torturous ‘Marilyn,’ was with his take on Olivier) but ultimately The Company’s entertainment commodity finds its joys only in cheap sentiment, broad laughs, and packaged triumphs. Scenes are not constructed to explore the complex inner contradictions of a woman of power and strength, but only to illustrate simplistic feminist bromides and to repeat fatiguingly familiar melodrama tropes.”
