Hailed to rapturous reviews in the States, this handsome adaptation of Kathryn Stockett’s bestselling novel tells the story of a young, white female journalist in 1950s Mississippi who writes about her peers’ treatment of their black maids to incendiary effect.

Strengthened by a standout performance from Viola Davis (Oscar nominated for Doubt) and an excellent turn from girl-of-the-moment Emma Stone (Crazy, Stupid, Love), The Help is persuasively heartwarming, but also shines a genuinely thoughtful light on how specific acts of bravery were necessary to ensure the success of the civil rights movement.
