The Help - Review

Today myself and Ollie (and my darling father) watched The Help, which is a little different to our usual films - you know those thriller action horror types. I have to say we both very much enjoyed it from the start; it uses a clever mix of funny one liners along with the harsh reality of the story which was very refreshing (I'm not actually sure what 'refreshing' means when talking about film but it sounded right in my head). I feel it was a little too long, the beginning of the film seemed to drag, and that's why it wont get a perfect 10 from me but once it got into the heart of the story it was brilliant. I thought the performances of the 2 black maids were very good, as was Emma Stone and most of the cast. My dad cried most of the way through, i suppose that says something.

Ta-Ta for now.

Overall rating: 9/10
