“Great Film for 2012”
Written on: 24/09/2012 by mrswilson12 (12 reviews written)
Myself and my family really enjoyed this film, a true insight into the Royal Family and of course speech impediments. I first thought that this film may be too dull for the 2 teenagers in our family, however I was wrong, they really loved watching it. From the start, you really do feel for the poor chap that cant speak properly through his speech impediment, being forced to take charge of Royal Speaking duties. This was due to his Brother not wanting to be part of the Royal Family, and... (read more)

Written on: 03/03/2011 by lizseddon (7 reviews written)
It was one of the few films I have been to in recent years, where the cinema audience was silent from the beginning of the film to the end. It is a simple story, but it kept everyone absorbed for the full length of the film and for me actually mad me sympathetic to the royal family - something I never had been before. Well worth a watch.

When I heard the original premise of a film centering around the difficulties of George VI and his stammer I was not bowled over. It did not seem a strong enough story to carry a whole film and was potentially another Sunday afternoon filler film. Then the hype started. Suggestions of Oscars and Bafta awards filled the newspapers and blogs. I decided to watch the trailer and was pleasantly surprised. Taking the plunge I watched it last night. I was not disappointed.
The opening scene...

Written on: 21/01/2011 by kingofreviews (89 reviews written)
I'm always a bit wary of this genre of film, concerned that it becomes a vehicle for actors to garner award nominations and, and set/costume designers to do likewise. All's well though because it's excellent, and justifies the hype for the acting and the overall story. Firth is superb, making the character interesting and vulnerable whilst not entirely likeable. There's lots of conflicting opinions being exchanged about the historical accuracy of the film, and in particular which of the... (read more)
