The King's Speech (2010)

Colin Firth is on a roll. Last year, he moved me to tears with A Single Man, and this year he's done it again. Although Geoffrey Rush's character is also good, it is Firth who is the heart and soul of this movie. We're rooting for him every step of the way. The final 15 minutes of this movie had me on the edge of my seat - I kept holding my breath, hoping he would make it through. It's a bit slow in the middle, but everything around it is so beautifully put together that it all evens out to make this one of my favorites of 2010. 4 stars.
