Movie Review : "The King's Speech"

Britain's King George VI (Colin Firth) struggles with an embarrassing stutter for years until he seeks help from unorthodox Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) in this biographical drama that chalked up multiple Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Logue's pioneering treatment and unlikely friendship give the royal leader a sense of confidence that serves him and his country well during the dark days of World War II. - taken from Netflix.com


Wow! I was really impressed with this movie. Not knowing the history of that time frame, especially in regards to the
UK, I found it really interesting. The movie deserves all the awards it has won, and then some! I felt Rush and Firth had played their roles excellently. Nothing more I can say about good stuff like this.... 5 stars.
