Movie Reviews

MTV - 6/10 by Larry Carroll"Helen" is a very heavy film. Heavier than Rosie O'Donnell at a Hometown Buffet.
Jam! Movies - 5/10 by Jim SlotekI wish the movie itself had mood swings as wild as Mathilda's. Judd's depression is relentless.
CinemaBlend - 3/10 by Perri NemiroffUnless you're prepared to be needlessly drowned in another woman's problems for nearly two hours, stay away.
User Review - 10/10 by Adam CThis movie is fantastic! I only wish this movie would get more attention because Ashley Judd deserves an Oscar for her performance in this movie hands down and I can't understand how anyone else could say any different on that matter. On some level I can understand why people would find this movie slow but if your the kind of person who likes action and suspense movies then I wouldn't recommend it. You need to willing to put your time in and go on a journey with the character. I think every single person can relate to Helen in terms of depression, we've all felt it. Maybe not to the extent she did but in some way whether it be a family member or just one of those days you can't get out of bed after a heart break, you just feel lost. Again I say I hope this film gets more attention for Ashley Judd because she deserves an Oscar no doubt about it, i would even take a nomination but she deserves the attention! This movie is 5/5 in my opinion :)
User Review - 10/10 by JLynn KFabulous insight on how clinical depression effects the individual and the people that loves them.
User Review - 10/10 by Toni MExcellent portrayal of mental illness. Ashley Judd is amazing!
User Review - 10/10 by jeanie mThis is the most accurate portrayal of depression that I've ever seen. Ashley Judd does an amazing job - so amazing that she must have had the experience before. You just can't fake that kind of pain.
User Review - 10/10 by Gina BOne of those powerful movies. This one I guess is of the best about reflecting depression, suicide and being close to it.
User Review - 8/10 by Acacia BBreaking-taboo-film giving a great insight on depression and its consequences on an entire family. Very moving and touching. Great performance of Ashley Judd.
User Review - 8/10 by Marina NGreat performance by Ashley Judd. A deep character study of a woman falling into suicidal depression unable to lead the life she had. Her family can only watch her fall deeper and deeper, unable to understand, to help. I have to agree that the movie is slow in the sense that nothing 'exciting' happens for long. But that's how depression can be. It's not fun to watch or experience. I love that the film is very honest and does not advertise a best solution that saves you.
