Review of The King's Speech (2010) by Dorothy C — 31 Dec 2012
This movie deserved every Oscar it won...even down to costuming. It is a masterful snapshot of a humble and almost unwilling English King "Bertie," played by Colin Firth, terrified of speaking in public because of a stammer.
In the days just prior to WWII, England needed a strong face and voice to present to Its public, and Bertie wasn't it. Enter Geoffrey Rush, in another Oscar-winning performance, as a speech therapist who settles down to work.
...add Helena Bonham Carter as Queen Bess and you have magic...a twenty hankie movie!! Bring loads of tissue...
