#8. Sublime

In Peter Travers' review of the movie 'The Help' published in Rolling Stones, he wrote,

"The actors are sublime. Start with the brilliant Viola Davis (Doubt) as Aibileen Clark, the housekeeper who's helped raise 17 white children for various families but is still reeling from the accidental death of her only son."

 What imagery does the use of this word portray?
 
Sublime: elevated or lofty in thought
