Ordinary story told in an extra ordinary way

Rating: 8/10 (26 January 2011)

As you already know what this movie is about, lets get straight to the point. The movie has a very predictable plot, but still it stands out among the other movies released this year. The movie is mesmerizing primarily because of the earnest and endearing portrayal of king of York by Colin Firth. Oscar jury is going to have a tough time deciding the best actor award unlike last year. The facts are portrayed in a very interesting manner, the drama is subtle and well interspersed in the narration. Its beauty lies in its simplicity and sincerity. Some people will feel that it is unworthy of 12 Oscar nominations but to me its a movie with a heart and soul.
