The King's Speech

The King's Speech did make me think about how debilitating it would be to have even a moderately severe speech impediment, even if one's job didn't (as did Firth's George VI's) entail inspiring a wartime nation through public broadcasts - or, for that matter, general talking (as mine does). It's a good film, the central relationship likeable, the more minor characters well drawn, and the story (rather surprisingly) engaging, though I can't imagine rewatching it.
