Flawless performance by MERYL. Gorgeous film with stunning cinematography, make-up and costume. Captivating, opening scene will knock middle aged women married for a long time to their spouses to their knees. Written by a woman Abi Morgan (she co-wrote SHAME) and directed by a woman Phyllida Lloyd (MAMA MIA, now that's different) and this is a shout out to women. Regardless of what you feel or felt about Margaret Thatcher and her conservative politics this film will make you relate to her with empathy , root for her, and accept her.
No one in the theater moved when the film ended. Everyone sat until the last credit was given. Don't miss this, it's spellbinding.
We then headed to GrayDuck Gallery for an opening of Austin local artists. Cool. Right behind LOVELY. What could be better?
My film critic has won me over again with her great review!
