The King's Speech (Tom Hooper, 2010)

9/10
I doubt there will be an Oscar in it for either, but Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush put in two of the finest, most beautiful performances in any movie I've seen all year. Their friendship and ensuing interplay made me want to both laugh and cry, often in the same scene. The movie is quite simple and a lot more fun than it would seem on first blush and the ending is triumphant. I found it hard to stop smiling after leaving the theatre. Highly recommended!
