The Kings Speech - a Movie Review

So last night me and a movie lovin’ friend went to see “The Kings Speech”.  The true story of The Duke of York’s ascension to become King George the XI., played by Colin Firth (nominated for Best Actor) and his battle with overcoming a crippling stammer.  The story follows his early, embarrassing attempts at public speaking.  His wife intervenes by hiring a slightly unorthodox speech therapist, played by the brilliant Jeffrey Rush (nominated for best supporting actor.)
Brilliant performances in this film, although the cinematography  seemed abit dark and straining on the eyes.  A better film that I had originally thought.  Strong competition for the Oscar race.
