4 stars out of 4 -- [R]ich in period detail....A superior historical drama and a powerful personal one..
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/4 --
A strong and respectable drama that is anything but revolutionary, but admirably tells its story with dignity and grace.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
THE KING'S SPEECH is one of the most pleasurable movies to come along in years....And the depth of feeling in Tom Hooper's film is matched by the breadth of its appeal.
Wall Street Journal
Rush is absolutely wonderful....Carter is a revelation here...
Hollywood Reporter
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Firth has mastered what may be the most crucial ineffable element of acting: withholding everything from viewers save that tiniest, most crucial sliver of humanity to which they can completely relate.
Washington Post
What's so interesting about watching a stammering British royal in the 1930s learning to speak well? As it turns out, plenty.

Product Description:
Emmy Award-winning director Tom Hooper (JOHN ADAMS) teams with screenwriter David Seidler (TUCKER: A MAN AND HIS DREAMS) to tell the story of King George VI. When his older brother abdicates the throne, nervous-mannered successor George "Bertie" VI (Colin Firth) reluctantly dons the crown. Though his stutter soon raises concerns about his leadership skills, King George VI eventually comes into his own with the help of unconventional speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). Before long the king and Lionel have forged an unlikely bond, a bond that proves to have real strength when the United Kingdom is forced to flex its international might.
