Notices
Add a NoticeCoarse Language: There is quite a bit of coarse language but it isn't used against anyone. It is simply stated...it makes sense in context nevertheless be prepared as it comes up every once in a while.
Coarse Language: lots of it in one part
Coarse Language: Lionel encourages Berty to swear, let the anger out and especially at one point there is ALOT of swearing. Sometimes Berty will be practicing reading and break out in the F word or the S word, it's kinda weird and semi-desterbing but it's still a good movie.
Sexual Content: This title contains Sexual Content.
Coarse Language: This title contains Coarse Language.

Add a CommentGood performance by Colin Firth. Was a bit slow and boring at times. Thought they would have spent more of the film showing the exercises, practices, and difficulties of overcoming the speech impediment. I feel like it was really just that one scene where Colin Firth was rolling on the floor, his wife was sitting on his stomach, he was yelling out the window, etc. A little overrated in my opinion, but worth checking out.
Incredible movie. With determination, practice and goodwill you can change your life. It must be hard to live when you have speaking difficulty especially being public figure. Believing is a key to success.
I'm studying to be in the field of speech language therapy and I found that this movie brought a sympathetic light to the people who stutter. The film also reminded me that the royals as just as human as the rest of us, they just live in fancier houses.
The inspiring story of a royal with a stutter and his loyal Aussie rudder.
The Kings Speech ---- (DVD - 2011) ---- Excellent! ---- Finished (1-16-12) ---- Enjoy! ---- RichardPaul
Long and boring at times but the ending was well-made.
Quite an interesting biopic... but also a compelling story of courage. Colin Firth is really a fine actor. Not to mention Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter - all excellent. Thorough performances.
Absolutely loved watching it; cinematography, actors, director, were all in sync. But strangely the second time it was a little boring...not like for example "The Kids are Alright", which I liked even more the second time.
An excellent movie!
amazing movie that is the best drama I've ever seen!! 5 STARS!!
