Movie #374 "The King's Speech" what a marvel of a story, enjoyed it from beginning to end, well acted, well told, nice amount of humor, and boy is it tense, and considering the subject matter, that would be something difficult to sustain, but it does. No question of it being a 5 with this viewer, since I enjoyed it so much, & along with "Toy Story", found it the best of this year. Don't be surprised if you see this getting several awards in January and February. I recommend it (there is some language, but it is used in a funny way, so even young teens could see it, who are sophisticated enough to see a thriller of a movie that doesn't have one car chase! It's a thriller of words!
I gave it 5 stars
