Release
The Speech was included in the Comedy Films section of the official selection of the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, which was cancelled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.[5] It was screened for press and industry in an online edition of the Cannes Marché du Film in June 2020.[6][7] The film was subsequently selected to be screened at the 13th Angoulême Francophone Film Festival,[8] where it had its world premiere on 1 September 2023.[9]
The film was initially scheduled to be released in theaters in France on 23 December 2020, which was rescheduled to March 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] As cinemas in France remained subject to outright closures,[11] the film was further postponed to an indefinite date. The Speech was finally released in France on 9 June 2021 by Le Pacte.[12] The film was distributed in Belgium on 23 June by Cinéart.[13]
Critical reception
The Speech received an average rating of 3.3 out of 5 stars on the French website AlloCiné, based on 30 reviews.[14]
Cineuropa's Vittoria Scarpa gave the film a positive review, noting its "subtle sense of melancholy which lends depth to the story and resonates with the viewer".[15] La Nación's Milagros Amondaray gave the film a similarly positive review, concluding that "[w]hen it isn't cheesy or forced, The Speech is a welcome celebration of mistakes."[16] Clarín's Nazareno Brega gave the film a negative review, finding the main character unlikeable and annoying.[17]
