About this movie

In 1960s Mississippi, Southern society girl Skeeter turns her small town on its ear when she interviews the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent white families. Only Aibileen, the housekeeper of Skeeter's best friend, will talk at first. But as the pair continue their collaboration, more women decide to come forward and, as Skeeter finds out, they have quite a lot to say.

Ratings and reviews

I love the actors and the characters from this story. Amazing and wonderful. Very compelling story with an undertone of struggle and survival. The heat and humidity felt throughout this movie lulls you into the deep South and brings the mind to how it was in that era. Watched it multiple times.
