PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"You are left with the impression of an old woman who can't quite remember who she used to be and of a movie that is not so sure either" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------
"Is there anything that Meryl Streep can't do as an actress? One can only marvel at her virtuoso performance as Britain's Margaret Thatcher in 'The Iron Lady' (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"Streep's performance is so true and so uncannily accurate, so full and so complete in its understanding, that she is fascinating every second she is onscreen" (Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle)

----------------------------------------
"You have to be very talented to work with Meryl Streep. It also helps to know how to use her. "The Iron Lady" fails in both of these categories (...) Rating: ** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"The film stars an unsurpassable Meryl Streep, whose ability to empathize with her characters has never been more gloriously impassioned than it is in this titanic performance (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Kyle Smith: New York Post)
