The King's Speech (2010)

The King's Speech is a touching, intelligent film topped with a wonderfully written script.
Colin Firth shines with an absolute brilliant performance as King George VI who is suddenly thrust into the throne of England just before the start of WWII. Cursed with a dreadful speech impediment, he seeks the help of an eccentric speech therapist, Lionel Logue played perfectly by the great Geoffrey Rush.
The performances by the two leads are the real highlight of this film.
Overall The King's Speech is a great film for anyone and is a real pleasure to sit through.

Rating: 4.5/5 ****
