The Help | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

While the narrative includes Black characters’ perspectives, the writing holds them at a distance, not providing more in-depth character development overall.

This is a film that will expose you to horrible truths about a not-too-distant past and, in the end, makes you laugh and feel like there’s a happy ending, except there isn’t one. Not really.

The Help, a likely Best Picture nominee, has one of the best ensembles of the year.

"The Help" will make you laugh, cry, and contemplate how far we've come as a society, how much has radically changed since the 1960s and, given our current racial climate, reflect on how much more progress we need.
