Even Better the Second Time
PostedDecember 13, 2010

This movie about a linguistically-challenged king and the only commoner who can help him strikes a wonderful balance between heart-wrenching and funny, historical and common-place drama. It is gorgeously filmed and costumed; both the actors and the script are spot on and so beautifully nuanced that I chose to see it a second time and was not disappointed. Rich contributions from everyone from cast to crew that should be duly recognized come Oscar time. Playing a tortured soul, Colin Firth's acting is worthy of his close-ups - and Geoffrey Rush provides expertly-measured doses of comic and soulful relief - both perfectly supported by Pearce, Bonham-Carter, and Jacobi.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
