The King’s Speech – A good film!

The King’s Speech is a good, enjoyable film. Performances are solid across the board, it’s pretty well written, decently paced, and it’s content is historically interesting. It does make use of some camera techniques that I don’t really care for (for example, using weirdly distorted lenses to exaggerate the King’s anxiety) but the film is strong enough that these distractions didn’t diminish my enjoyment of it. The use of music is a little heavy handed, but again, not a game-breaker. I personally would not call this a great film, and I doubt I would ever feel the need to watch it again, but it’s a very satisfying experience the first time through. I recommend it!
