Slightly off-balance - too much focus on therapist caused a lack of emphasis on the immediate royal family members

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2012)

A very solid movie, with Colin Firth's amazing performance made me believe he should win the award for his portrayal of a king battling against issues of self-confidence and shortcomings. I liked the usage of camera angle shot close to the face which augments the nervous feeling or reluctance every time the King was expected to deliver a speech. The only thing I would like to see more is a little bit more involvement of his family (especially his wife) as I thought the pace was a little too slow -- the screen time on the sessions between the King and his speech therapist could have been reduced slightly to give way to more emphasis on his family's thoughts.
