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 |
