Barbara, Patty, Carol, Louise, and Betty-Jo all enjoyed the movie from Lux level seats, cocktails in hand! What a great way to see a movie! This one followed the book closely, and was filmed on location which gave it an authentic feel. Both Viola Davis (Abilene) and Octavia Spencer (Minnie) as “colored” maids toiling in upper middle-class white homes in the Jim Crowe Mississippi of 1962, and Jessica Chastain as a flighty but loving newlywed, are stand-outs in a cast where all were fabulous. Favorite idea: positive thinking for children - "You is kind. You is smart. You is important."
