Stuart looks like a young Jim Halpert, albeit a more snooty, rich and entitled version of him lop. What is this refresh rate tho. Damnit making me cry every time. This doesn't only happen to African housekeepers. Even elite working mothers are sailing in the same boat as the African housekeepers shown in this movie regardless of their race especially teachers, doctors and nurses. Most of the time their kids are in day care centre but at workplace, they take care of other people's kids. So, there is nothing to feel bad about it.

“It feels... ” “Nobody ever asked what it feels like to be me”. If this film were total fiction bearing no relation to reality, it would still be worth seeing for the fine acting and production values- even if some of the young white women approached "Southern Gothic."
But it wasn't fiction- at least, the depiction of Southern society wasn't. As I watched I kept drifting back to small-town South Carolina in the 1950s, where I grew up. It was moving and disturbing to be reminded how black people were treated then- loved and yet "kept down in their place." Our neighborhood was all middle-class and every family had a maid. There were plenty of boys my age, we visited in each other's homes, and called every maid by her first name. One even started a baseball team for the little white boys, for which her reward was a visit by the Klan.
Our maid helped my mother cook and clean. One of my parents picked her up and took her home every day- and she rode in the back seat. She ate her lunch in our kitchen- without being allowed to use our utensils. I remember her eating with her fingers. I do not remember ever seeing her use our bathrooms. I thought about that during the movie and truly cannot recall what she did, an embarrassing gap in memory.
I do remember when my father was out of work and our maid had to be cut back to three days a week. I actually cried; she was a member of our family. When talk about civil rights began in the late 1950s, my mother became annoyed at our maid for getting "uppity." And so it went. We moved to central Florida in 1961, where there were no maids.
Travel back in time with this film. It's quite real, and I highly recommend it.

You didn't eat just one, you had two slices! ROTFLMAO. Currently reading the book and loving it. 10/10 for that insult. Sorry, read the title wrong.

That was nice how she kept Miss Walters from getting a slice

The book is amazing! I loved it. So I'm definitely booking tickets to see this movie. This movie is so amazing. impressive plot, amazing actors/ actresses. i watched this a lot of times and i'm still attached to it. this movie and <12 years a slave> are both great movies about african american life. @ 1:39 One can always tell how well a man is interested in you by the huge quantities of alcohol he consumes.

I wanted Skeeter and Cecila to be friends. It was 💩 inside that pie 🥧. Wow first trailer that i've seen that does not look like a trailer but still looks like a movie :p.
