Inspiring! The Weinstein's have brought us another sensitive story of the human condition set in 1930's England. No car crashes or special effects but soft strokes of humanity. I was drawn in by the wonderful performances of Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter and the entire ensemble. Helena embodied a loving queen mother with subtle sensitivities proving again that "insanity" is not her only note. Colin's terrific performance forced me to grimace as he struggled for his voice. Making me feel compassion for his being born into an austere family and demanding position. Geoffrey Rush mastered the sensitive and strong willed therapist whose own shortcomings gave dimension to his being. Director Tom Hooper transforms us to the past with rhythm and compassion.
This film is a wonderful film. I left feeling I could conquer most anything.
