what is missing

The film starts from Mrs. Thatcher's later life, reviews some important moments and events in her life, intersperses characters who have an important influence on her, and emphasizes her deep feelings with her husband and the loneliness and loneliness after her husband's death in her later years. Desolate, and point to the relationship between children: neglecting children for the sake of career, and the departure of the rebellious Charlie.
I have full respect for Iron Lady; but I always feel that there is something missing in this film. Although it is indeed difficult to summarize the life of such a legendary character in a short film, I still feel that the film is not comprehensive and sufficient. It only shows a few aspects of this great and strong woman, and it is more lifelike.
In terms of plot arrangement, the use of interludes makes the time a bit messy. Although it may be understandable after careful scrutiny, it is too tiring to watch. After all, it is not a suspense film, so it is better to be clear.
Meryl Streep's acting skills have nothing to say, whether it is the strong and arrogant Iron Lady, or the old woman in the desolate evening scene, they all grasp it very accurately. In fact, I'm quite curious about how she practiced her London accent?
Especially commendable is the magic makeup. This is also a must for a good biographical film.
PS: Love Harry Lloyd.
Overall, I give more than 3 stars and less than 4 stars.

    There is nothing to say about Aunt Mei's actress-level performance, but this film portrays the Iron Lady. . . It even made me feel a little too hard. No wonder the Thatcher family had to say no PS. The various timelines went wild and almost wanted to go wild. . .

    In fact, it is a portrayal of Margaret Thatcher's life in her later years, thinking about the lonely life of her late husband every day. It's not an imaginary political movie. The biggest problem is that there is a serious fault in the story, and I don't understand why I have a fantasy disorder when I get older. . ? I didn't know that the director was a female before I saw it, but it did have obvious details and thoughts. . . Aunt Mei’s aura did come, but she always felt a little too hard. .
