When The Iron Lady came out, my better half surprised me by expressing serious interest in seeing it. The Baroness is not generally prone to a desire to see the biopics of conservative icons, but her explanation made some sense to me: growing up Thatcher was one of the only (or perhaps THE only) powerful women political leaders. Regardless of her political beliefs, Thatcher was a role model for BVH, and the film had the added attraction of featuring Meryl Streep (Adaptation) in the title role. In the end we did not see it in the theater, but waited until last week.![]()
