What a wonderful movie, but not everyone agrees with me, maybe that's why it's 34th on the list for Netflix. It's the true story of George VI(Colin Firth), unwilling king of England during WWII, and well known for carrying a speech impediment most of his life.
The movie begins with a speech given by then Prince George, and he literally is unable to finish due to his continued stammering. Apparently, this is a problem the prince has had his entire life, but it had never been made public. Led by his wife, then Princess Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), he seeks help with his speech impediment from a very unorthodox therapist named Lionel Logue. Logue(Geoffrey Rush) uses unconventional methods to help work to fix George's speech impediment and in the process the two become close.
Brilliant performances here by everyone involved especially Firth as the king, and he was well deserving of his Oscar. Geoffrey Rush is equally brilliant and this a very interesting story and a wonderful movie. Just Queue It!
