The Kings Speech (12)

Director Tom Hooper Biog/Drama/History


“The King’s Speech” is the tale of Elizabeth II's father and his remarkable friendship with maverick speech therapist Lionel Logue. Fascinating, moving and often humourous it charts the personal relationship that developed between England's reluctant King George VI, plagued by a nervous stammer, and his irreverent Australian speech therapist.

Starring Colin Firth, Michael Gambon, Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce, Geoffrey Rush


Flicks Advisor (comments from our film promoters)

Very enjoyable film with a thought provoking and also heartening reminder of our history, everyone enjoyed it without exception. Brilliant!

We all know that it is a brilliant film, but with the surround sound equipment from Arts Alive, it was exceptional. All enjoyed it thoroughly, despite our brief power cut! Perhaps I shouldn't have suggested that most of our audience would recall the speech in 1939.

Very well done. Compelling viewing - everybody thought it was good. A number of the audience had already seen it at least once!
