The King's Speech tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George ('Bertie') reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stutter and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country into war.
Embora não seja sobre culinária, 'The King's Speech' me cativou com sua intensidade dramática. A relação entre o rei e seu terapeuta da fala é um banquete de emoções. O desempenho de Colin Firth foi excepcional, com um sabor que só os grandes atores conseguem dar. Um filme que, como um vinho encorpado, pede para ser saboreado devagar.

While it occasionally leans towards sentimentality, its historical accuracy and character depth make it a noteworthy addition to any film buff's library.
