The King's Speech*** (12A)
Odeon Colchester
The future King George VI tries to cure his stammer with the aid of Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue, and is thrust into the limelight when his brother Edward VIII abdicates.
Deeply moving study, not of one man's triumph over adversity but his ongoing and ultimately winning struggle; languid in pace, like the King's stammer, and historically taking one or two short cuts, but at its best when focusing on the love-hate relationship between the king and his speech therapist. The truth of the story is perhaps what makes it most moving.
d: Tom Hooper
s: Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Derek Jacobi, Guy Pearce, Jennifer Ehle, Timothy Spall, Michael Gambon, Claire Bloom.
