The King's Speech


This film, based on a true story, is about King George VI (Colin Firth) who has a bad stammer when he talks. Geoffrey Rush plays speech therapist, Lionel Logue, who tries to help the King with his problem.

I loved this movie! It's so inspirational and powerful! Both Firth and Rush give amazing performances as the two leads. It keeps your attention the whole time and is never boring, nor is it more serious than it has to be (there are some really funny parts). This movie was brilliant! It was clean, classy, and straight-to-the-point. There was some brief cursing, but that's about it. It has a great message about overcoming your fears. It's not some over-artsy film-snob film, but a film that everyone can enjoy.

Don't judge this film by its synopsis, because it is very interesting and entertaining.

Overall Grade: A+
