The movie depicts an elderly Thatcher looking back upon the key moments of her tenure as Britain's first and to date only female prime minister. Still a polarizing figure in the UK, the Iron Lady has again provoked debate about the legacy of the greengrocer's daughter from Grantham during the "Thatcher Years" of 1979-1990. Friends and family of the former PM have criticized the movie as "left-wing fantasy," but the script writer has defended the movie, saying Maggie fans will be pleasantly surprised.
