Cinema Montreal

Loved it! Loved the cast, the plot. It was just a joy to watch!

Great movie! Be sure not to miss it.

Having seen this movie maybe 10 times in whole and another 10 in part on television and once in the theatre and being from Alabama, I feel well qualified to say this movie is one of the best films ever. You get the humor and the REAL idea of how things were (are) in the deep south. I used to visit friends in Savannah and ride the "Maid Special" bus out to Tybee Island for the day. After about 3 days the maids became friendly and even brought me sandwiches and desserts. Some of the stories I heard on that bus mirrored the stories told by this movie. I hope to see it again on the big screen. I think I gave it a 7 or 8 when I first saw it, but it grew on me.

For the most part the movie stayed true to the book. The acting was superb and really made you root for (or hate!) the characters. Great film!

A fantastic feel good dramedy... so good!

Wow - keeps you in your seats no matter what. Go see it right away before they move it on.

It was okay; the style I found to be better than the story. Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer are great together!

I know the book was probably better, the books normally are. I didn't get the opportunity to read the book before seeing this film, but I don't know how I could have loved it even more. The movie was simply beautiful, well cast, well acted, the cinematography was beautiful. Such a great film!

I had read the book, 'The Help, ' before I saw the movie & I thought they stayed pretty true to the story. The acting was amazing & really made you love (or hate) the characters! A great story everyone should see!

Omg! Such a good movie. I also read the book. And I enjoyed the book more and was happy that I did, because I noticed things that meant something that they didn't elaborate on during the film.

This movie was really AMAZING, LOTS OF STORY IN IT, important story. It was really well acted, too bad Emma Stone wasn't nominated for her 1st oscar :)

So good!! Got to go see it NOW!

I read the book and was so taken up by the plot and the times in which it was written that when I heard it had come to our theatres, I just had to see it. My friend who loaned me the book, and I both enjoyed the movie immensely. All the actresses were fantastic, and Skeeter really played her part, as did the colored help, in fact each one made the story delightful, yet gripping and suspense filled. I have recommended it to many others.

Having descended from former slave owners my understanding of the roots of slavery reaching back to feudal Europe through to Rome, Greece, Egypt, etcetera, is that that social and economic system had generally a less obvious racial basis, and so was more clearly a social class structure. In the America's the 'colour' aspect provided a more easily identified division of ranking in the culture. My sense is that part of what makes 'The Help' so affecting is the inclusion of the intergenerational relationships within the home, as this is something so many can relate to and understand. Social classism is not only in our past it is a part of the economic stratification that continues to divide our populations providing for a majority of 'control' to a minority of peoples. The justifications may have changed somewhat, now we don not so much speak about race and or religion as in our recent past. We have 'homeless', 'wage slaves', subordinates who do as told or lose position, internationally operating sex slave businesses, and worse.'The Help' may have as much to do with the present as the past. I am reminded more of 'A Patch of Blue' and 'The Defiant Ones', than 'The Color Purple', hopefully you understand what I mean, as all three of these films make an addition to one's knowledge and level of inspiration to deal fairly with all, regardless of age, monetary value, level of education, or 'title'.

What a movie! Loved it through and through, so much so, that I went out to buy the book and couldn't put it down, it tugged at my heart to see the mistreatment of human beings which still goes on today. I'll never forget it! I just felt I had to comment.

Great story and acting. Slow paced. Wouldn't watch again but recommended.

My only regret is not seeing it on the big screen. Please see this movie.

Humourous, Well done, a definite must see.

We know about racism but this allows you to see just how bad it really was (and still is!)

This movie followed the book. It kept you interested and helped to understand what was happening 1962-1964. I enjoyed it very much.

This was veeeryyy goood! Thought provoking, and disturbing! A good disturbing that will move people.

Very good movie!! Serious historical issues, but done with humour!

What a beautiful story. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. The performances were spot on. There's laughter & tears. Very touching film. Well worth seeing.

An Awesome movie to see. Was what I expected and much more. Do not miss this great movie!!! What does it matter what color people are. The important thing is get along regardless and put aside stupidity period. Have a set and stand by it!!!
