Comment
The King's Speech is the story of how King George VI (Colin Firth) learnt to deal with his stammer as he came to terms with becoming king with the abdication of his brother and the start of the second world war. He leart how to deal with his stammer from Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) the unconventional Australian speech therapist. This is a well produced and acted British film, that benefits from very good performances from the supporting cast.
