The King's Speech

The King's Speech

2011, PG-13, 118 min. Directed by Tom Hooper. Starring Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter.

Not reviewed at press time. We have not seen this new PG-13 version of the film that we recommended upon its original release. In this new cut, several decidedly unregal “fucks” have been muted, and in other places the word "shit" has been substituted.
