MummyHen Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I totally agree - a brilliant film - highly recommeded. My 80 year old mother thought it was excellent - except for the short swearing scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 YAY! Headache has gone,so I am going at midday today. Can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Good to hear it, we're trying to find time to see it. Have missed a few films lately, so it'd be nice to see just one on the big screen rather than a DVD via my 14" portable at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachelk Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I saw this with may parents a couple of weeks ago - a very very good film. Found the short swearing part hysterically funny, as did the parents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 It is excellent and beautifully written Two characters in the cast jarred a bit for me compared to the rest who were all wonderfully cast but they were only minor parts so it didnt really matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 My mum saw it earlier this week and said it was very good. YS has expressed an interest in watching it. He's very in to history and used to have a stammer, I didn't think he'd want to watch it for that reason but I may take him this weekend to see it.

Cinnamon Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I really enjoyed it too It was nice & gentle,very well cast & ultimately amazingly uplifting - I left the movie feeling like a million dollars Some superb acting by the leads,& I also loved Guy Pearce as The Prince of Wales/King Edward, & thought Timothy Spall made a fab Churchill. Jennifer Ehle was also wonderful & barely recognisable as Logues wife. I also thought Helena was great....you could see the Queen Mum in her! I thought London looked wonderful,especially the smoggy scenes - there is some very good cinematography in this film. The use of the very special silver English light is very good indeed. The costumes were also a joy. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadietoo Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 We thought it was fab too, although take your hanky along, because if you are anything like me (and the lady next to us) you will be crying in the first five minutes!!! Some wonderful performances and great cinematography....highly recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riane Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Really enjoyed this film. I am sure Colin will get an oscar. He deserves one just for being so lovely never mind a brilliant actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Just seen it, it was great but I have used up no end of nervous energy willing his words to come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Oh,me too....I found it hugely frustrating in parts. If Colin Firth doesn't win that Oscar,it will be a total travesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I saw this the day it was released. Good to see Colin Firth out of his doldrums doing something exceptional; he has had a hard time of it recently and the Golden Globe best actor award is well deserved; Oscars loom Coincidentally the Telegraph ran a two page article on Lionel Logue a few days later which differed somewhat from the film and made an interesting read. I can't get the image of Geoffrey Rush in his pirate costume out of my head though So may interesting films out soon I could go to the cinema twice a week for quite a while. The older ones amongst us may realise that it is Holly Golightly 's is 50th anniversary this year and the film is back on "big screen". What a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Fabulous film . Really enjoyed it . "Stanley Baldwin" looked familiar but I couldn't quite place him. He was Anthony Andrews! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
