OK, being gay and from that time, perhaps that does color my impressions, but it was still an amazingly great movie! Wish it had done more in the big-time awards, but the BAFTA isn't small beerish. Imelda Staunton may be the biggest name, and as always, she never disappoints. People may say it glosses over and does "feel good" but having your parents toss you out into the street, or having explosives thrown into one's store/office isn't really feel good. Nor is that snide, self-righteous television clip of Thatcher saying she can't change her style. Nary a bad performance or heavy-handed move therein. Beautifully photographed. Some of those lads, oh, you just want to take them home (and I mean that in a nice way!) The women of the town - love them, especially Sian! (And fun to red what Sian really did with her life - in real life!) Dominic West's (Jonathan's) "Shame, Shame, Shame" scene is worth the price of admission alone. A must see.
