saw: the help
It's difficult, and possibly heartless, not to feel the emotional tug of this tale of women helping women overcome the inequities and indignities of the Jim Crow South. It's equally difficult, however, not to find fault with the Lifetime-movie tropes of this particular telling, with its cartoonish belles and telegraphed highs and lows, where every magnolia is stainless steel and no green tomato goes un-fried. Grade: B-
