Two words: Meryl Streep. Virtually unrecognizable, Streep removes herself completely, becoming the United Kingdom's first female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The Iron Lady fought for power in a male-dominated party, as did Streep fight to save this film. Mamma Mia! Phyllida Lloyd's showy editing techniques are merely a distraction from the storyline, and our focus on Streep, who delivers as if completely unaware of the camera. Watch as Meryl's penetrating performance takes over, albeit the director should have taken her job as seriously as Thatcher did. Streep's iron fist dominates both the UK, and the picture. Academy Award nom number 17?
