Reviews

smithers-742-127438 This film always brings me to tears and I don't believe there will come a time when it doesn't. It was beautifully made and actually strives to show what it's like to have a speech impediment, especially when you need to speak publicly. But the most honest and struggle-filled moments happen in private, at times that speech shouldn't be an issue and yet it is. This was captured beautifully and I will continue to watch this movie even though it always brings me to tears.

cricketbat The King's Speech is a well-made feel-good film. Colin Firth does an excellent job playing the part of a stuttering monarch, and the friendship between Firth and Geoffrey Rush feels genuine. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had more knowledge about British history, but this movie is definitely worth watching.

daoldiges The King's Speech is well made and is full of solid performances. The timing of the King's ascension to the thrown coinciding with the war does add interest to the story. The two males leads play well off of one another, which is the glue that makes this film work. It held my interest but otherwise not what I felt compelling.

Jithin K Mohan Firth seizes you from the first shot itself and his performance is the driving force that makes this a captivating watch. The camera used to juxtapose his emotions and the period setting makes up the right atmosphere for this historical drama. Though some historical inaccuracies might have been avoided it doesn't deserve the hate it gets for all the accolades it got. People should accept that after all, no jury can be satisfying to everyone and move on without being a prick about these things all the time.
