For me this is one of the best films ever. It ranks up there with The Shawshank Redemption and will turn out to be a modern classic. It's beautifully crafted and the actors are at the top of their game here. In my opinion Timothy Spall may not have been the best choice as Churchill but do not let this detract from a great film.
The Oscars & Baftas were thoroughly deserved and I can't wait until it's released. Can't recommend this film enough. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.
Went to watch this as it was getting a lot of Award Season Buzz.
Found that it deserves all the praise that it is getting.
For this is truly a Brilliant Movie in every department.
Story, Acting, Direction and Production Values.
The story is very engaging right from the first scene.
It is then told in a brisk pace and laced with Wonderful Humour.
The Acting is terrific. And Award nominations are sure to follow
Colin Firth is just exceptional, and in his scenes in Public with his Stammer or excruciating to watch as any horror movie.
Geoffery Rush matches him step for step as the unorthodox Therapist. Helen Bonham Carter is good in a small role.
Guy Pearce, and Timothy Spall act their parts well.
Overall a Very Entertaining True Story
Few words can truly describe this film. It was poignant, entertaining throughout (no boring bit in the middle!) and informative. It inspired me so much I have since read a biography on Bertie - the reluctant king.
The film and cast deserved every award they received!
This film shoud scoop the board at the Oscars. An amazing portrayal of the late King George VI. Such a difficult part played with ease by the amazing Colin Firth. Superbly acted by all the cast a very touching storyling and written and produced with comsumate dignity and authenticity . One of the best ever historical dramas!!!
Would love to see this film again and look forward to owning it on DVD,
Not usually one for oscar nominated films but this one really caught my eye and was thoroughly enjoyable. Colin Firth was brilliant as the stammering King George VI who struggled in public speaking because of his stammer but it was his speech therapist Lional Logue played brilliantly by Geoffrey Rush that impressed me so much with his fantastic performance and he had great chemistry with Firth. Highly recommended whether you are a fan of the genre or not...a modern masterpiece. Enjoy
