An inspirational and highly enjoyable film about how one man
found his voice with the help of unlikely friend – and in so doing
demonstrated courage and integrity of a type seldom seen. That he was a king takes nothing away from the intimate humanity
of this wonderful film. |

'As the actor of the year in the film of the year, I can't think of
enough adjectives to praise Firth properly.
The King's Speech has left
me speechless.' — Rex Reed, New York Observer |
