Kings Speech fantastic film based on historical events.

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2017)

A tale of an unlikely friendship between King and Speech therapist, and a masterclass of acting between a triumvirate of actors. Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter's performances are so entertaining and are the highlight of the film for. The interactions between the king and speech therapist, alongside the King's wife is so engaging. A clever jump for the film was the large swerve that the film takes on the story that loomed over the whole period, which was World War II. The film cleverly keeps it at a distance while zooming in on the characters and their interactions and delivers a smart, thoughtful and brilliant exploration of character interactions that bring out humanity. I highly recommend this film to those who love films about the British Monarchy, rich in detail and as Roger Ebert states: has "meticulous class distinctions".
