Review of The Help (2011)

By Rebecca Barry Hill (44) for Flicks.co.nz (982) on 13 Sep 2011

It's a feel-good, revenge-seeking satire, the kind that makes you want to shout 'go girl!' from the cinema aisle…

Review of The Help (2011)

By Neil Pond (477) for American Profile (252) on 07 Sep 2011

Review of The Help (2011)

By Cynthia Fuchs (1,328) for PopMatters (2,617) on 07 Sep 2011

In The Help, lying is a way of life. If the maids lie as a function of their employment, their employers lie in ways at once subtler and more blatant…

Review of The Help (2011)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 01 Sep 2011

Review of The Help (2011)

By Julie Rigg (120) for MovieTime, ABC Radio National (314) on 01 Sep 2011

Review of The Help (2011)
