Review of The King's Speech (2010) by João P — 10 May 2013

The true story of a man who became King George VI who had to overcome a terrible stutter and lead Britain through the second world war thanks to an unorthodox speech therapist who became his unlikely friend.

In the age where mass communication is everything, The King's Speech reveals a new kind of vulnerability for people to understand and identify with. The film is also very elegant, with charming and very witty dialogue and memorable sequences carried out by the very talented cast, particularly its leads Firth and Rush who respectively play the king and the speech therapist.
