Awawesome ffffffilm. Really, you will love it. The atmosphere and decor truly captured the period, and the acting is first class. You can feel the pain and anguish of Colin Firth as he acted out brilliantly the suffering of someone with a stutter, and more so the fact it is a King...... Awesome.

An immense performance from all involved have opened the world's eye's to the awfulness of living with a speech impediment. This movie blew me away and deserves all the praises heaped on it.

We watched this in the cinema. We don't tend to clap at the end of films in the UK. People tend to just walk out. This one had a rousing round of applause. Lovely film.
