"Wonderful movie,Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush so believable"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I saw this film at the movies twice, and then on flights to and from the UK. Never has a 23 hour journey gone by so quickly. Its all absorbing. All the actors so believable, and the fact that its based on a true story made it more enjoyable to watch again and again. I had to wait till I returned to Australia to buy it as UK dvds dont play here. Have watched it several times and love the bonus features also.

Description

The King's Speech

Tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George (‘Bertie’) reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stutter and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country through war.

Critic Reviews:

  • " A strong and respectable drama that is anything but revolutionary, but admirably tells its story with dignity and grace. " – Matthew Lucas
  • " Firth's performance in this great film cements his status as one of the best actors working today. " – Micheal Compton
  • " The King's Speech lingers in the mind and the emotions long after it ends, communicating to us in the spirit of Logue's work. " – Abbie Bernstein
