'The Help' doesn't tell us anything we don't already know, but it provides a touching, insightful look at the unsung heroines of early 1960s Southern society. Fine performances and a dash of humor distinguish this tale of strength, hope, defiance, and perseverance that tugs the heart strings but never wallows in sentiment. Disney's Blu-ray features excellent video and audio, and a couple of worthwhile supplements, all of which earn this disc a solid recommendation.
The Help is a great film.
