The Help:
A heart wrenching and a heart warming tale of the 'coloured' help in the 1960s in Southern America (here, Jackson) and their fight for dignity. Viola Davis is amazingly convincing. Definitely a must watch.
Extremely Loud Incredibly Close:
Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks - Could it have gotten any better? Yes, we can put in Thomas Horn who plays their 'special' child and you have a winner. The story revolves around the boy's search for a connection with his father who is a victim of the 9/11 disaster. The boy reminded me so much of Christopher in the book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon, who is also out on a mission. This movie is also a definite watch.
There is link between the two movies - The Help and ELIC, and that is Viola Davis.
