The King's (and my) Speech

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2011)

As a stutterer myself I have to say that I was mesmerized by the film. Some of the hateful reviews I have seen are reminiscent of the ignorant children and adults that have taunted me.
The development of stuttering is accurately betrayed. I can not speak to the speech therapy techniques as I have never been involved with the one shown.
As a movie, without regard to stuttering, it was thoughtful, engaging and captivating. I like action moves but those who rate this film low because there is just talking, frighten me. If we can no longer talk as a people and be engaged by non-violent media, we are in as much danger as we were in WWII.
