The Iron Lady
40% overall with a pattern worth knowing: The Iron Lady opens well and fades. Early-round voters favor it; the films it faces in finals tend not to. A film defined almost entirely by a single performance — Streep's Thatcher won the Oscar and overshadowed everything else about the production. Voters respect what she does here without necessarily wanting to choose the vehicle. 1.4s avg decision time (platform avg: 3.5s). No deliberation needed.
Synopsis
A look at the life of Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, with a focus on the price she paid for power.
42% to 40% to 25%. The decline is steady rather than sudden — The Iron Lady doesn't collapse, it gradually meets its match. The films at the top of the bracket are a different class.
The Bridges of Madison County is the easy matchup at 67%. Out of Africa is the kryptonite at 0%. The gap between best and worst opponent says a lot about what The Iron Lady can and can't handle.
In Meryl Streep: The G.O.A.T, The Iron Lady regularly reaches the final — then runs into Out of Africa. At 0%, it hasn't found the answer.
