Firth seizes you from the first shot itself and his performance is the driving force that makes this a captivating watch. The camera used to juxtapose his emotions and the period setting makes up the right atmosphere for this historical drama. Though some historical inaccuracies might have been avoided it doesn't deserve the hate it gets for all the accolades it got. People should accept that after all, no jury can be satisfying to everyone and move on without being a prick about these things all the time.

I love it, watching two great actors strut their stuff, and here Rush and the amazing Firth don't drop their stuff. I have to admit, I enjoyed this movie, full of great memorable scenes and performances, more than I thought I would. It really got me in, and it's true. Set around the time of the Hitler regime, Firth, next in line for King, must first overcome his stammering, where again, as recalling one Aussie Idol contestant, who had a stuttering impairment, we see what an amazing part music, or singing can play, into eradicating this problem, here it'sa music from a turn table. With Daddy on his deathbed, Firth, such a stubborn character, is sent to a speech therapist, the solid flawless Rush, who slowly delves into the why's, and cracks at the root of the problem, Firth's disfavored childhood, and we'll feel so sorry for him. His selfish, aristocratic younger brother, Pearce, is up for the throne too. Pearce kind of tries too hard with his role, and sort of comes off artificial, while Helena Bonham Carter, such a great actress, mlends fine support as Firth's wife, where Timothy Spall and Anthony Andrews add memorably solid, in smaller supporting parts, especially Spall. And then there's the speech, the greatest and memorably high point scene, wonderfully recreated, as too the first rate set. Essentially it's Firth's movie, and he has you at every scene, in a amazingly brilliant performance, worth the ticket of admission alone. Essential viewing. Rush's digs, is so cool.

This is a biopic about how King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II, overcame his stuttering problem. Widely considered by all but his father unfit to be king, George is reluctantly thrust unto the throne and into the spotlight after his brother is forced to abdicate. Overshadowed on the global stage by powerful orators like Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini, the King relies on the help of a little-known Australian speech therapist named Lionel Logue to find his voice and courageously lead his people into the most devastating war humanity has ever faced.Above this chaos, confusion, and unrest, rises a weak shell of a man to greatness. Colin Firth is the vessel for that transformation and if he doesn't win an Oscar for this performance it will tarnish the Academy forever in my humble opinion. This is the kind of performance, and film overall, that you leave thinking to yourself that you've just seen the greatest movie ever. I loved every frame of it and every second of it was pure agony. Firth managed to portray the whole scale of King George's emotions and all whilst showing us the true nature of the man's problem. ---Yidioo
