Maggie and Me

About This Movie

Maggie and Me is a curious blend of personal history and political documentary. Jon Snow, who was pretty much a kid on the block when Thatcher took office, gives us a glimpse into his early days as a reporter. You can feel the tension of that era through his recollections, which are steeped in nostalgia and candidness. The pacing is reflective, allowing Snow's memories to unfold with a kind of gentle gravitas, almost as if he's rediscovering those moments himself. It's not just about Thatcher; it’s about how her policies shaped a generation and influenced journalists like Snow. The film’s atmosphere is distinctly British, filled with dry wit and subtle humor, which keeps it engaging. Worth checking out for anyone who appreciates political documentaries and personal narratives alike.
