THE HELP

Tate Taylor delivers.  The acting performances were solid all around and should get its share of Academy Award nominations. 

I actually think the real story is what happens after the book comes out.  The maids are all in deep trouble.  They will face immense hardships.  Their relationship with Skeeter would definitely sour.  That would be interesting to explore.  Skeeter goes on to have a hugely succesful career while the maids' lives are ruined.  What would she do to help?

Bryce Dallas Howard, Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain, Octavia Spencer were simply amazing.  The kind of movie you wish wouldn't end.  The laughs as well as the tears are earned. 

This is what movies are all about.
