The Iron Lady, the biopic of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, came out today on Blu Ray.
I missed the film in theatres but plan on adding it to the Netflix queue for the reason stated in the headline. Unless anyone can convince me otherwise?

Margaret Thatcher was a great lady, or “badass” as you say–a term of which she probably would not approve. Meryl Streep is not a great lady, no matter how many might claim to be impressed by her acting.
I have not seen “The Iron Lady,” but based upon my reading of some Britons who knew Thatcher, and my readings of other reviews, it does not do justice to Margaret Thatcher.
