Quote:

the fourth season of netflix’s royal jubilee felt like a long-awaited entrée after several scrumptious appetizers. Not only did we get princess diana, finally, but we also got the draconian chaos of margaret thatcher, played with spine-tingling specificity by anderson. With her clenched jaw and shellacked hair, she looked the part—but that’s easy enough. Anderson dug into the iron lady’s cruelty and conviction without showboating. Her thatcher was creepy, even spectral—not to mention a killjoy, as in an indelible scene in which she awkwardly huffs through a drinking game with the royal family. At times, anderson’s lips seemed at war with her teeth, so tense and self-punishing was thatcher’s curdled sense of striving. Anderson’s thatcher bests meryl streep’s oscar-winning portrayal, because “the crown” doesn’t try to shoehorn her into a feminist hero’s journey. Thatcher is less palatable as a hero, or an antihero, than as a needling antagonist, as in her heavenly toe-to-toe scenes with olivia colman’s queen elizabeth.

Thanks for sharing! I saw her tweet it earlier but didn't get a chance to read.

Must be just awesome to come across praise like that for your acting performance

Penny Lane · 12-04-2020, 03:39 PM

She deserves it all.

FrellingTralk · 12-04-2020, 03:41 PM

Absolutely

Penny Lane · 12-04-2020, 03:46 PM

My love.

Stunning lady

Put her under my tree.

Have you ever done those astrology reports to see if you two under the stars would get along as friends or a couple?

I never have, but that typing that out makes me now curious,

Penny Lane · 12-05-2020, 12:40 PM

No, I have never done that. That sounds a little weird.
