The King's Speech 12A
Sure to be the must-see film of 2011, The King's Speech stars Colin Firth as King George VI, a reluctant leader who must overcome his stammer and find inspiring words to galvanise the nation as World War II looms. King George enlists the help of an unorthodox speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) to help him and the films charts the relationship between the two men.
With a Golden Globe under his belt, Colin Firth is being tipped for an Oscar for his performance and the film boasts an outstanding supporting cast in Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce, Timothy Spall and Michael Gambon. From The Damned United director, Tom Hooper.
"Tom Hooper's richly enjoyable and handsomely produced movie about George VI's struggle to cure his stammer is a massively confident crowd-pleaser."
