Firth delivers a stellar performance

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2016)

'The King's Speech' ticks all the boxes to be considered a truly great movie. It is very well made with an intelligent script and some outstanding individual performances. Colin Firth as King George VI is probably one of the best in recent years and he thoroughly deserved his Oscar for it.
From the emotion to the humour, this is a subtle and elegant film that relies heavily on the script and actors to succeed. The dialogue between Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush is the highlight of this movie. Two great actors working with great material.
A thoroughly enjoyable and extremely well made film that will be remembered for all the right reasons. Great writing, great acting.
