Brilliant, not a dull moment.

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2011)

Its not often when you can say, "totally engrossing" and "not a dull moment" in a movie thats not an action movie and is 90% indoors with 2 guys talking. This movie spans roughly 1935-1939. With the death of King George V, the abdication of Edward, coronation of George VI and the start of the WWII in Europe. It revolves around the relationship that forms and the method of speech therapy that George VI underwent. Climaxing in the speech the king made to rally the nation when war was declared with Nazi Germany. I am pretty sure some artistic licensing may have been taken in some of the scenes. Edward and Wallis Simpson were portrayed in a rather negative light (true or not, who knows). I recommend reading up on George VI before watching the movie it will help and add to the understanding. It will also make it feel like you are watching their private lives. Brilliant movie, definitely one that I will watch again.
