Not that brilliant

Rating: 6/10 (3 January 2012)

I can remember as if it was yesterday how much this film was well reviewed when released back in the beginning of 2011. I can't remember reading one single review saying this film isn't very good, so I decided to watch this myself. The story is quite simple for an Oscar movie; a Prince (and in the end, King) has a problem in his voice so he can't speak without stammering. After going to lots of doctors, he goes to a normal citizen who promises to cure his problem, which cause some troubles in his life. I thought this normal citizen would in fact cure his problem, but in the end, his attempts are useless. Nothing much really happens and it lacks in drama in most scenes. There's nothing too strong, emotional or interesting to keep your eyes wide open. Maybe this film is designed for an older audience.
