    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Great film.

    Wonderful performances by Bryce Howard (Hilly Holbrook), Octavia Spencer (Minnie Jackson) and Sissy Spacek (Missus Walters) was hilarious.

    Initially lulled me into a 'lil ol' town feeling, this film certainly packed some racially prejudiced points by the end. Well acted by a host of 'unknowns', it was a pleasure to watch, though a little syrupy.

    Can't be many guys who watched this one on their own!! My wife won't watch movies of good books. Grrr! Anyway, I read it too. It's very loyal to the book both in story and in emotional tone and characterisation. Very respectful of the quiet dignity of the main characters- and I guess the millions who must have suffered similarly. Quite emotional but thought provoking.

    I read the book first, and was told from others that the film is not as good (usually what happens). Although there are slight changes to the book it's a really great film, made me laugh and cry!
