Storyline
Elderly and a virtual prisoner in her own home due to her concerned staff and daughter Carol, Margaret Thatcher, Britain's first woman prime minister, looks back on her life as she clears out her late husband Denis's clothes for the Oxfam shop. Denis is seen as being her rock as she first enters parliament and then runs for the leadership of the Conservative Party, culminating in her eventual premiereship. Now his ghost joins her to comment on her successes and failures, sometimes to her annoyance, generally to her comfort until ultimately, as the clothes are sent to the charity shop, Denis departs from Margret's life forever.

Trivia
At the 2012 Academy Awards, this movie was nominated for two Oscars, Best Actress and Best Make-Up, and won both, achieving a perfect score of two wins from two nominations. This feat was previously also achieved by Ed Wood which also won two Oscars from two nominations. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: On several occasions when Mrs Thatcher is speaking in the House of Commons the camera pans the house. No other women MPs are shown. There were 19 women MPs in 1979 when she became PM and 66 in 1992 just after she retired. However, director Phyllida Lloyd directly addressed this in an article in England's Daily Mail newspaper, January 9th, stating "I've deliberately put no other women in the shots. There were, in fact, 19 female MPs by the time she became Prime Minister but we are trying to show not how it was to the objective eye but how it felt from her point of view. Ours is a collection of very selective memories, of a life of a woman formed by the Second World War and permanently at war, her life played out as a series of battles." See more »
