The plot in a nutshell: King Henry VI gets speech therapy. Nominated for twelve Oscars, The King’s Speech had a lot to deliver. Given that I’m a self-confessed Geoffrey Rush whore, the film had the upper hand from the get-go. Adding to this, Colin Firth gives a performance so breathtaking it’d make Churchill stammer. Every time those two actors are together on screen, the film is golden. However, when they weren’t, the movie’s interest level dropped significantly for me. Their master-class performances carry most of the film. In fact, screw Tom Hooper! Nominate Firth and Rush for Best Directors, dammit!
