Simply the Best

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2011)

I'm not going to relate the story. Other reviewers have done that already. But I have to say that this movie is absolutely brilliant. It deserves to win awards in all categories.
I expected to see a good film.Instead, I saw a great film. Can't think of any negatives, so I am giving it 10/10.
Why?
The script,direction and acting were excellent. So was the cinematography. It was good not to see any signs of modern structures or jet streams ruining the period.
Geoffrey Rush portrayed Australians of the period perfectly, without representing us as all ockers. Only flaw was that it seems that Lionel Logue never used profanity in front of the King and did not have him use profanity as an anti-stutter strategy. But this isn't enough of a flaw for me to score it down.
Colin Firth was totally believable as the young, severely stuttering prince. Helena Bonham-Carter was perfect as the (to be) Queen Mother and the loving wife of the future King.
Michael Gambon, although only in a small part, shone as King George V.
