SYNOPSIS/PLOT

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.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
The King's Speech -- a crowning achievement powered by a dream cast -- digs vibrant human drama out of the dry dust of history (...) Two men alone create an epic landscape of feeling in one of the very best movies of the year (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"It’s a prizewinning combination, terribly English and totally Hollywood, and Firth is, once more, uncanny" (David Edelstein: New York Magazine)

----------------------------------------
"Riveting" (Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter)
