The casting was very well done to the point that you know who was supposed to be whom when first appearing on the screen, such as Neville chamberlain. So you get gripping story of guy overcoming his demons/ailment while gripping drama unfolds around with a happy ending. Not Korean massage happy ending, but positive uptick to the storyline at it's conclusion.
Will probably be nominated for best picture, Firth for actor, and Rusk for supporting actor or lead actor. Along with a bunch of other shit no straight dude gives a shit about.

I got around to watching it, and it wasn't bad. I probably wouldn't have watched it without the recommendation, but was pleasantly surprised. Hearing English people swear is hilarious also. I didn't know "bugger" was in the same category as "fuck."
