The King's Speech exclusive screenings at Ayala Malls

MANILA, Philippines - Rolling Stone Magazine hails it as “a crowning achievement powered by a dream cast,” while Variety calls it “a stirring, handsomely mounted tale of unlikely friendship.” Indeed, “It’s a rare combination of crowd-pleaser and triumphant artistry,” attests the Wall Street Journal.

After worldwide acclaim since its American debut last year, The Weinstein Company’s The King’s Speech will finally make its Philippine run starting on May 11, exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas (Glorietta 4, Greenbelt 3 and Trinoma).

The toast of last February’s Academy Awards, The King’s Speech won four major Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director (Tom Hooper), Best Actor (Colin Firth) and Best Original Screenplay (David Seidler), while cast members Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham-Carter earned nominations in supporting actor categories.

Based on the true story of King George VI, The King’s Speech follows the Royal Monarch’s quest to find his voice.
