I was very leery of the film's (and the source novel's, of course) reductive attitude toward the civil rights movement. By the end of the film, I couldn't help but feel that Skeeter's 'help', albeit with good intentions, seemed somewhat self-congratulatory. It is however worthy of note that Viola Davis delivers a superb genuine performance, and I'm glad she didn't risk making her character over-melodramatic, which the film already is in many scenes.daluraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776494779872405827noreply@blogger.com
