The Help trailer
The Help (2011), directed by Tate Taylor, is a drama film and is available to stream on 7 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 8.1/10 and 75% on Rotten Tomatoes from 8,967 ratings, it is well-reviewed by critics and audiences alike. Originally released in 2011, it's now a streaming staple.
The film stars Emma Stone, Viola Davis, and Bryce Dallas Howard. At 146 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.
