Review: This movie is true to the spirit of the book which is very important to me. Yet the film also brought to life characters and places that I could not clearly envision until I saw the film. This is one of those rare times when I prefer the film over the book.

The script captures the danger of what the women are doing. Even though I knew what would happen, I still felt anxiety as I wondered what the fallout would be if they,and their illegal activities, were discovered. This is a history lesson without being preachy. A film that reveals the history of women that historians in the 60s did not think were important.

As for the acting, many of the other reviewers have mentioned standout performances. Viola Davis and Octavia L. Spencer deserve Oscar nominations for their portrayals as the help. Cicely Tysons powerful portrayal of Constantine was truly a standout- she broke my heart. Jessica Chastains characterization of the poor white trash woman who is shunned by the women of the town was luminous. Bryce Dallas Howard does a glorious job of presenting woman driven by ambition to do whatever it takes to hold on to her power and status.

Finally, the costumes and setting were really well done. I was transported me to a time and place I had not visited in a long, long time.

Kudos to all who had anything to do with the making of this film.

    The film The Help is worth it to view. the The Help is so phenomenal. It’s a strangely paced film and suffers at times from incredibly long exposition and poorly contrived story lines that seem to be added to no doubt develop the storyline rather than the The Help story that I wanted to see.

    I thought The Help was interesting, it was a new type of romantic movie, and a smart one as well. After that it all went downhill. I saw 3 movies too many. Now I refuse to even watch this movie again, but, apparently there are still people out there that can enjoy a movie like this and I am glad they can.

    The Help is a genuinely great movie– disappointing summer aside. It’s more refreshing, perhaps, due to the fact that this season has been so lacking, but The Help easily deserves praise all on its own merits rather than by lack of good competition.

    I agree with you on The Help – the first half hour of it was great, actually. tailed off a bit towards end but still a way better film than it should have been

    You will literally be watching The Help in no time at all in case you just consume advantage of this site. The following is what’s possibly the best component about this web site as opposed to all of the others. Then, if you’re lucky more than enough to even find a place that says you’ll be able to actually watch The Help or watch The Help, you happen to be heading to have anything that appears like it was filmed with an iPhone…by someone with Parkinsons. Now, I know you will also be asking if you might be heading to acquire to become some personal computer genius so that you can not just watch the movie, but then burn it to a DVD. Do not have a DVD burner? No problem. Obivously I’m talking in future tense just to prove a point, as I already watched the movie. They are not going to charge you for each movie you desire to watch, that’s great, because I’m also certain that The Help is not going to become the only movie you will be ever heading to would like to see. It just isn’t the regular spam you see splattered all over the web. Watch The Help now!

    The film The Help is worth it to see. the movie is so awesome.
    I didn’t find it to long, it was at times a little too knowing and even self indulgent but I guess a film like that has to be! It makes my top ten of the year so far. Lets see if it stays there!

    This movie was absolutely phenomenal. Already seen it three times. Loved the comics and this was the most satisfying adaptation I’ve ever seen mixed with the directors personal charm and tweaks. The Help was just nice to watch and so fun to be a part of as an audience. LOVED IT.
