The Iron Lady (2011)

FILM4, 6.50PM

Whatever your political leanings, best to put them on hold for Phyllida Lloyd’s fuzzy biopic of Margaret Thatcher, starring Meryl Streep. Those on the left will think Abi Morgan’s screenplay ignores her championing of socially divisive free-market policies that have brought the nation to the brink of economic disaster, while fans are unlikely to appreciate a framing device that paints her as an old biddy.
