While Anderson is a beloved actress, Thatcher has a more complicated legacy. According to Slate, she was disliked for her conservative ideals, her support of "privatization, the selling off of public housing, her wars against Argentina in the Falklands and against the miners and the working class in Britain."

On Twitter, people were conflicted on how to feel.

Of course, other people were quick to point out that it shouldn't matter who an actress plays.
