Phyllida Lloyd's (MAMMA MIA!) biopic of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher features a career-crowning turn from Meryl Streep as the eponymous stateswoman.
In flashback we follow Margaret Roberts' political awakening in Blitz-torn Britain through her steady rise to the nation's hot seat in the late 1970s and her years in office in the '80s. At a time of deep-rooted civil unrest and economic instability, Thatcher's will to eschew expectation and prejudice to become the first female leader of the Western world makes for inspiring cinema, whatever your view on her policies. Vanishing into this definitive portrait of one of the most divisive of 20th-century figures, Streep is simply sublime.
