Title: Turn On the Lights Please
Review: The story of the King overcoming his stutter to speak publicly with the help of a self-taught speech therapist with whom he develops a friendship is heartwarming and important. However, I don't see as well as I used to so I kept wishing they would turn on some lights somewhere or do more of the filming closer to the windows. It was tedious straining to see what was going on. Also, the movie moved slowly and seemed repetitive for endless minutes. It bothered me too that the King was tense and unable to speak up until the very end when he gave the WWII speech, when he suddenly became confident, smiled, and was able to speak. A little cartoonish to me. The Mozart and Beethoven music helped to evoke emotion. But overall a fairly good movie, though I wish I had rented it instead of buying it. I'm not interested in sitting through it again.
Is the review positive or negative?
