Due to the political and social realities of Pre-WWII England, a film so narrow in scope must have been difficult to create. Surely, the temptation to dissect both George VI's personal struggles and those of contemporaneous English society must have been nearly overwhelming. And though director Tom Hooper does subtly address the overarching questions which will come to define England as a modern nation, his firm focus upon a well-constructed ensemble cast does wonders for the film (I'll leave it to other reviewers to discuss the charms of Firth, Rush and Bonham-Carter). With the compelling storyline of an unlikely monarch searching for strength and identity, and the subplot of an ailing nation preparing for yet another grinding war, this film enthralls and inspires throughout.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
