#TheKingsSpeech was high on activity, and does have some genuinely welcome policies, especially the #HillsboroughLaw, but it was lacking in serious proposals for fundamental #change in many areas. The policy on #Ukraine was particularly foolish.

【David Seidler, best known for his Oscar-winning writing on The King’s Speech, has died aged 86, according to reports.
The London-born screenwriter, who had a stammer growing up, was inspired to write about the true story of how King George VI overcame his speech impediment with a speech and language therapist.】
Bugger, and valé. A brilliant screenplay, and the fact that he stammered as a child means he understood the topic, rather than just read about it. We absolutely loved every aspect of The King's Speech., from start to finish.
David Seidler, ‘The King’s Speech’ Screenwriter, Dies at 86

My ★★★★ review of The King's Speech on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/64APrX
Should The Social Network have won? Probably. It doesn't mean that The King's Speech is a bad film. In fact, I still think it's pretty great. Firth and Rush have tremendous chemistry, and Bonham Carter is as fantastic as always. Still makes me laugh 14 years on.
