Alex C @RT43842586 Aug 7 A movie I will watch forever, over and over again. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12 A powerful, moving drama featuring an absolutely brilliant female cast, in which the performances of Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer steal the show. It manages to balance the harsh reality of racism in the 1960s with moments of great sensitivity, humor, and dignity. See more Dave K @BilboBagsy Jul 4 Even though it’s not based on any sort of real or historical events. It’s an extremely powerful film that gives a voice to the nameless individuals that devoted their lives to raising multiple generations of White American children. It gives you a perspective that you wouldn't get to experience today. It makes you think about how a specific race of people in America worked six days a week, barely spent time being able to raise their own children and never had time for their own families. It reminds me that not only did African American maids raise other people's children, but that they did it with the same care, respect and love they would have shown their own children. An inspiring story and a powerful message showing the unbelievable strength of black communities and what they had to face everyday in order to get the freedom they undoubtedly deserved. It's a wonderful mix of inspiring and powerful performances, heartfelt humour and emotional encounters. 8 / 10 See more Roven B @cinnephile.01 Jul 1 Its just one of those things you gotta sit down and watch and understand for yourself See more Benny R @Benny925 Jun 26 This movie in my opinion historically and accurately portrays the pain of maids in the 60s, it also offers strong acting and powerful performances. See more Pauline W @Paulwall May 24 Brilliant movie very well acted and directed. To the naysayers who say it doesn't depict the reality of black lives at the time, this is a movie not reality and the movie does its job of conveying a message while making it an easy watch and accessible to everyone. A must see. See more Read all reviews
