Not entirely deserving of all the awards (including Best Picture) it is receiving, this very enjoyable, near-silent, 4:3, black and white comedy will make you smile and possibly chuckle, but not cry like The Help, laugh like Jack and Jill or even feel as passionate a you felt about the artist George Melies when you watched 'Hugo'. 
Based on the hugely popular novel by Kathryn Stockett, this beautifully made film will make you cry, laugh and want to start a riot. The actors really want to be there and are proud of what they are saying and doing. Every detail, from the costumes to the music, has been made by caring hands belonging to people who feel so passionately about the artwork they are involved in the painting of that their passion rubs off onto you, even if you watch no more than 30 seconds of the film. I urge ever... 
George Clooney shows off his acting skills with the help of some very talented kids in this sometimes funny, sometimes tragic film by Alexander Payne. Worth a watch, but only if you have already seen 'The Help'. 
After attending a screening of this new Terrence Malick film, I am confused as to whether or not i enjoyed the film. Note- i believe i am too young and stupid to understand fully the point of this being made, so many of you over-25s will probably think it is a masterpiece. That is good. Many of you may think it is a pointless waste of time. Other opinions are available, but i have none. 
The Best Picture winner is in no way as good as Inception or The Social Network, but Firth is good, and Rush is better (than in Pirates 4) 
This Golden Globe™ winning film is a fantastic look at the founding of
