The Iron Lady (2011)

Margaret Thatcher is going senile...haunted by the kind-of-a-dick ghost of her husband. So, apparently, the viewer should feel every bit as disoriented as she does, even during the supposedly-sane flashback sequences.  It was disjointed and annoying.

If the story had been more about the rise and reign of Thatcher rather than the ousting and decline of the old lady, it could’ve been better. Well, actually, with Phyllida Lloyd at the helm, I’m not so sure about that. After all, she and Streep were responsible for inflicting Mamma Mia on us.
