Colin Firth delivers one of the very best performances I've ever seen. He completely grabbed me and made me forget I was even watching an actor in a film; his performance alone makes this a must-watch. However, there is much more to love here: Geoffrey Rush is also fantastic, and the both of them are supported by a script that is both deeply touching and tons of fun, itself based on a fascinating true story. Definitely in my 5 favourite films of the year.
