By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 10 Aug 2011

Instead of plunging us into a racist past, however, The Help takes us on a pop-cultural tour that savors the picturesque, and strengthens stereotypes…

Review of The Help (2011)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 10 Aug 2011

Above all, though, it's an actors' movie. Perhaps the highest compliment one can pay them is that even the caricatures seem rich…

Review of The Help (2011)

By John Hazelton (142) for Screen International (2,241) on 10 Aug 2011

The Help is a nicely cast but otherwise pedestrian adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's best-selling 2009 novel…

Review of The Help (2011)

By Grae Drake (173) for Movies.com (1,002) on 10 Aug 2011

The performances in this movie are so spectacular that it made my analytical eye fill with tears for the triumphs and sorrows of the people…

Review of The Help (2011)

By Matthew Razak (302) for Flixist.com (210) on 10 Aug 2011

Even if you wanted to complain about the film being too melodramatic or cute those complaints are washed away by powerful and compelling performances…

Review of The Help (2011)

By Tony Macklin (521) for tonymacklin.net (414) on 10 Aug 2011

The Help is Mississippi-lite. This doesn't mean it's not an entertaining movie: it is quite enjoyable. It just means it avoids authenticity…

Review of The Help (2011)

By Tom Long (1,693) for Detroit News (2,682) on 09 Aug 2011

Appalling, entertaining, touching and perhaps even a bit healing, The Help is an old-fashioned grand yarn of a film, the sort we rarely get…

Good story, great characters, a setting plucked from history - and a multiracial, multigenerational ensemble cast stacked with fabulous actresses…

Review of The Help (2011)

By Rafer Guzman (1,080) for Newsday (2,345) on 09 Aug 2011

The Help brings a chick-flick sensibility to a serious subject, which is more daring than it might sound. It's also incredibly refreshing…

Review of The Help (2011)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 09 Aug 2011

Typically, this sort of film is an earnest tear-jerker with moments of levity…
