Brief Summary - On the eve of the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1960’s a young, white, aspiring writer [Skeeter played by Emma Stone] embarks on a secret project with several black maids in Jackson, Mississippi. Their taboo collaboration is a risky undertaking, in spite of that it results in the formation of forbidden friendships, which paints a vivid picture of their lives.
Rating - on a scale of 1 -10 the Help is worthy of a 9.2
Movie Strengths - Viola Davis portrayal of Aibileen's character was so powerful it moved me to tears and I NEVER cry [for movies]
Movie Weaknesses - I feel as though the severity of the racial conflict and taboo nature of what transpired between Skeeter and the maids was downplayed.
Final Thoughts - THIS MOVIE IS WATCH WORTHY it may not be suited to everyone's pallet but its a substantive story worthy of your time and $$
