A phenomenal masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2019)

Brilliant performances drive this masterful piece of cinema forward. Colin Firth (as King George VI) and Geoffrey Rush (as speech therapist Lionel Logue) are stunning (two of the best performances of the century), and Helena Bonham Carter's supporting role as George VI's wife is spectacularly done. The direction of Tom Hooper is beyond perfect, the cinematography eye-pleasing and fluid, and even the supporting roles of Pearce (George's brother, King Edward VII), Spall (Churchill), Gambon (King George V, George VI's father), and Jacobi (Archbishop) are brilliantly played. A perfect masterpiece, and one of the few times the Oscars got Best Picture right in the 2010's. One of the best films of the century.
