No matter the character, she simply inhabits the person she's playing. She completely disappears and let's the character speak, and evolve right before our eyes! I am blessed to be alive at the same time she is. What a gifted actor! Aren't we all lucky to see her perform? 🌟

Exactly her tone of voice..wonderful

The amazing thing about Meryl is her ability to become whoever she portrays, so that we no longer see her, but her character through hard work, talent, imagination.

Meryl is a legendary actress and the best of her time. Have two of my favorite actresses on that couch (Meryl and Whoopi)

Got to say meryl nailed this what an actress truly talented and most important down to earth deserves the accolades as a top actress Well done meryl.

The most brilliant performance of all time.

Meryl Streep is the real deal. She's incredible!!! GOD!!!!

who doesn't love THE QUEEN? she's amazing

The Great Mrs Thatcher.

As an American who lived in the UK (1984-1987) under Thatcher while she was still in office, it was VERY interesting for me to watch The Iron Lady, MAINLY because Thatcher seemed so mythic to me as a political figure. What I ❤️ about Streep's performance, is that she humanized Thatcher's life, and gave her some context about what she had to put up with being a woman in a party dominated by men.

Thatcher was the worst

The most remarkable performance. It is not easy to perpetuate such a unique, strong personality. i have seen clips of the movie,and cannot wait to see the movie in full. Amazing performance Meryl.

Meryl Bloody Streep ! this is an amazing performace .... i just can't wait to watch it ... sure deserve an oscar ... viva meryl

Such a brilliant actress, I love watching all her work because she shows how rewarding true acting can be.

Again, love Meryl Streep....

...i love this woman so amazing at what she does but still remains HUMBLE which is really rare...

Meryle Streep performance is sensational, she is one of the best actors of actors off all time, no question, no debate. But I have to say I’m from a place called Motherwell in Scotland, which was once famous for making steel and it was a profitable industry. But because of thatcher government and there de-industrial policies the local economy tanked and never recovered. Today the local economy is service sector jobs, zero hour contracts and no workers union. I was only a child when it happened but I remember the dole line being out of the door and half way down the high street in favour of a centralised economy in London where it’s all numbers on a computer screen. She was the first female leader of the uk, fair enough. But the females in my family absolutely despised her because of the economic suffering she caused. And I don’t think American audiences are aware of that interpretation of the story.

Streep was Thatcher in that film. She nailed it.

Thank you for sharing! I hope Meryl wins his 3 Oscar! I'm waiting for 25 years to see her win...

I was discussing the Iron Lady with a friend today during a lecture - baring in mind im 18 years old and a friend said she didnt want to watch it because its a "granny movie" and since we're both from Britian i thought well isnt it worth going to get gain some knowledge on pivotal British history - and Meryl Streep alone should make you want to watch it, its a highly subjective film and i dare say that Meryl deserves the Oscar this year!

I throughly enjoyed this flick. I hope to buy it for my collection of biopic classics.

How is this amazingly beautiful woman 62?! Absolutely stunning! I pray to look like Meryl when I'm her age.

this was probably the best portrayal of a Iconic figure by an actor/actress ever.

I dunno, I think Thatcher's gender became irrelevant quite quickly and she was judged on her decisions and policies.

STREEP IS AMAZING... I am British and watched Streep electrify the screen and cinema... Meryl Streep is an incredible actress. This has to win another Oscar for her... as for The View, I agree, only Whoopi Goldberg is good, giving Meryl time to answer a very good question. The rest do really talk over each other... clearly Barbara Walters thinks she leads this group!

"whatever the name--we have to thank the director..." Wow, Barbara Walters is rude. I love Meryl Streep and have huge respect for her. However, this is the woman who made Mamma Mia and the Iron Lady. Phyllida Lloyd is a name to remember!

I LOVE MERYL SO MUCH!

thanks!

What they said about how it was/is for women in our society is true, and as far I could see, they only really talked about the woman's point of view.

I am a woman and I am not much interested in the programme.

5:32 no no no. Maggie honestly I think was one of the least criticized Woman Leader in the 20th Century. She made men tremble on fear. The reason she was so controversial is because of how she did certain things. Like the poll tax and what have you, she really wasn’t brought down being a woman in 10. Before that of course but as prime minister no. Again she was feared and had unpopular policies that’s why she’s both lobed and hated in Britain and in politics around the world.

hehe, how did you know? Now with that post, my point has been proved.

They don't metion Thatcher's politics though... opposition wasn't exclusively because of her gender, her actions didn't go unnoticed...

Who exactly is planning on getting rid of the Queen? Hell even the fucking Guardian is calling for that anymore. I think her Maj is perfectly safe my friend.

Today's American conservatives would call Margaret Thatcher a leftist.

She doth not appear to be very elegant and feminine.

Obviously as the only two PMs to be female in Britain have been "Toris"...Miss Streep is totally wrong about it being a "boys club". That's the problem with modern leftists, they confuse pandering with empowerment, and charity with progress. All very emotional ways of thinking...Thatcher was a great leader because she was better than everybody else for the job at that time. She hated Feminism because it made the woman feel as a victim....miss Thatcher was never a victim...and because she instead was a leader.

No problem mate, I don't see why everyone on the internet has to be so nasty to each other, it's the anonymity thing, it enables us to say things in a way that we would never do in real life. Anyway I still think you are overreacting a tad. Support for the monarchy is at its highest for decades and Labour had 13 years in power without pushing for any kind of republican reform.
