Well meaning enough film about exploitation of black women as house maids in 50s-60s USA. Well meaning, but sort of over-cute. The major problem is that while the characters *are* portrayed as mistreated, it's nothing compared to the stories of what actually did happen, and you kind of feel that someone decided to forget about the institutionalised rape to make a cosier film, and I don't think you get to pick and choose to that degree. The other problem is that while Emma Stone is absolutely a lovely light comedy actor, there's a scene where she's required to bring her best acting game, and she fails, sadly.
