Brilliant uplifting film

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2011)

I saw this film on the recommendation of my 19 year old step son, who only saw it as he couldn't get in to see Gullivers Travels. He has no interest in history or the Royal Family and a limited knowledge of the period. He raved about it, claiming it was the best film he'd seen in ages and so I went.
It is one of those films where you can't help but get involved. Each excruciating word was being mouthed by the audience and the sense of relief and happiness at the end, was palpable.
Fantastic acting, great dialogue, brilliant costumes and the only slight fault would be in some of the backdrop/scene settings, which looked slightly false (didn't have the Avatar budget I guess). The audience age spread was the widest I've ever known it and if your parents/grandparents remember George VI, you must take them along to see it.
If this doesn't win a hat full of Oscars then there is no justice in this world.
