Courage + rising star - Jessica Chastain

Ok. I'm a sucker for emotional movies involving great feats of courage, like Sarah's Key. Here's another one: The Help. Both of these movies are based on good, multi-dimensional books, which are better than the movies, but these movies are good too.
Like the disappointing movie, The Debt (I guess I'm an ageist, but do we really want to see a scarred Helen Mirren wrestling to the death with another 70 year old?), The Help has in the cast the actress Jessica Chastain. Her amazing beauty was shown so well in The Tree of Life. Now we know she's a very good actress too! Reminiscent of Jessica Lange in her early career.
