This story of the British royal family in the 1930's, & how the future King George VI dealt with his stuttering problem (with the help of an "uncredentialed" but experienced & effective Australian-born speech therapist) is extremely well-acted (which we would expect from Helena Bonham Carter & Colin Firth), visually stunning in the understated British manner, with humorous moments while maintaining the "royalty-commoner" tension that significantly drives the plot forward. This is a must-see film for anyone who wants to see a well-acted British drama, and who is interested in the historical events which are here depicted.
