Already a hit in America, Tate Taylors big-screen rendering of The Help arrives in the UK.
Its easy to see why.The Helpis an entertaining, very well-acted, affecting film.
It portrays the segregated South with a bright sheen and a cheery gloss.
Theyll be fighting over the Oscar nominations for this one.
Alison Janney and Sissy Spacek steal every scene theyre in.
Really, the list for acting plaudits goes on and on.
The stand-out surprise though is Jessica Chastain, as white-trash made good Celia Foote.
The film shows off its decade as if its a shiny red Cadillac, with polish and gleam.
