Everything in its place, but...

Rating: 7/10 (21 November 2011)

" Kings's Speech", winner of numerous awards, great cast of superb English actors, amazing skill in re-enacting the bygone era, and so on , so on... Everything is in its place, every detail thought through, the story itself mesmerizing, but... What was missing is a spark of originality, a dash of madness, a dab of anarchy. It is hard to put your finger on it, but it was all just far too predictable for my taste. Mind you, I enjoyed the movie immensely. British actors play the history better than anybody in the world, their classical training shows in every sentence they pronounce. Perhaps, when people praise the piece of art you expect to be awed and blown away, and I wasn't. It could be my fault. Who knows...
