THE HELP (Theatrical Release USA 2011)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Stars ìììì

The Help, based on the 2009 novel by Kathryn Stockett, depicts relationships between Black American maids in White American households in 1960 Mississippi. Brilliantly executed, the film adeptly intertwines the lives of three Black American maids and their communities with the socialite white women they serve and their communities. A more than worth watching movie.
