IMDB

In Jackson, Mississippi, a young woman aspiring to be a journalist/novelist begins writing a book about the black women who take care of white people’s children and homes.  As civil rights begins to roll out we see the town begin turning upside down.
I thought this film was going to be terrible based on the trailer I saw before “Bridesmaids.”  It was actually very good.  Not chick flicky or goofy at all, rather it is just a good drama with some minor comedy.  The performances are very good, and I especially like Emma Stone and Jessica Chastain (my new favorite actress).  Surprisingly great.


8/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
