On the edge of your seat drama

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2015)

This film is one of the best movies I have ever seen in a long while. There are few movies out there that have had me on the edge of my seat at the start. You are so moved as soon as Colin Firth (Prince George) says his first word. The hairs just went up at the back of my neck watching him.
The performances of Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush are just mesmerising and you just feel the electricity of the two actors together. They just click and you are so much taken along for the ride. You can't help but feel for Colin Firth's character in this as Prince George with this huge fear, the temper and the embarrassment of his problem.
There is quite a bit of comedy in the film so it's got everything really. Some of it really makes you smile.
A special mention needs to be made about Helena Bonham Carter as the queen mother Elizabeth. So much likeness and sweetness to the character but a steely nonsense too. She's amazingly - spot on.
The ending is just breathtaking and so touching. It's fabulous.
The supporting cast and the direction by Tom Hooper just make this a one in a million film.
10/10 love it
