The King's Speech

"While far from easy, both roles provide a delightful opportunity for Firth and Rush to poke a bit of fun at their profession."

"If The King’s Speech doesn’t bring him the Oscar he just missed for that role, it’ll be a royal scandal."

"That film does have its attractions, notably in its two solid leads and standout support from Mr. Pearce."

"This handsome movie about the abdication crisis and George VI's stammer is a clever anti-Pygmalion"

"What we have here is a superior historical drama and a powerful personal one."

"The piano refrain that opens The King’s Speech tells you to expect a film that prizes respectability above all else. And yet almost imperceptibly, something shifts in Tom Hooper’s period comedy."

"It perhaps started with "The Queen," continued with "Young Victoria" and now achieves the most intimate glimpse inside the royal camp to date with The King's Speech."

"Think the blazing joys of "Chariots Of Fire" where the race is to the end of a sentence. Can it be that the British are coming?"

"The King's Speech wins out with vivid dialogue and great cast"
