Rated: R (for language-a scene where many curse words are shouted but not at anyone or in anger)
Starring: Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter
Wow. I loved this movie. After watching it, I felt satisfied. I may rate it as one of my top five favorite movies. Even my husband, who watches mostly sci-fi, fantasy, or action, agreed this movie was worthwhile.
When Edward VIII abidcated the throne of England, his younger brother Albert reluctantly accepts the position. Since he was four or five years old, Albert (later known as King George VI) suffers from a stutter. How will he be able to stand in front of his people and deliver speeches with his stammer? Albert's wife seeks therapy for him from an untraditional speech therapist, Lionel Logue. The two form an unlikely friendship. Albert/King George VI is Queen Elizabeth II's father.
An amazing, inspiring story.
**Highly, highly recommend.
Warning: language, some innuendos
