I loved The King's Speech. The stuttering is very accurate, and the viewer can feel the king's pain when he cannot express himself how he needs to. The only criticism I have is it should have included more discussions about stuttering between the king and the therapist. Explaining how he feels about being a king who stutters would have been more emotionally jarring than a montage of treatments.
