Director : Tom Hooper
Running Time : 119 mins
When the King abdicates, his brother George (Firth) assumes the thrown to become King George VI. Plagued by an uncontrollable stammer and considered to be unfit to rule, George is forced to employ the aid of Lionel Logue Rush), an unorthodox speech therapist who tries to help him with his crippling affliction.
For a movie with such a basic plot, this was a really surprising hit. Firth and Rush are wonderful in the lead roles, and actually make you care about what will happen to a member of the Royal family. For fans of simple period dramas this is a definite must.
