Possibly it would have been easier to take the movie on those terms if there had already been a big biopic about Thatcher -- something to scratch the itch of wanting to see her political story. But there hasn't been, so of course when people see a trailer/movie poster/whatever like this, they assume that's what they're going to get, and feel frustrated when the movie decides it wants to be personal rather than political.
