Film Reviews by LE

This was a first class film, telling a good story. To what lengths the story was true or not wasn't my concern. The film expressed some naked truths of the time (e.g. Black v White toilets) and described the undervalued position of black people and women well. Octavia Spencer was excellent and I remember her being very good in 'The Help'.

The real joy of this film lies in superb performances, and it clings to key story of the book, happily ignoring the subplots. The moral standing of Atticus is a learning point for everyone.
