I've finally seen Precious: Based on the novel "Push" by Sapphire or Precious: BOTNPBS as a friend and i call it. Coming off of awards season, and hearing so much about this movie (and so many people saying the full utterly obnoxious title), i was a bit reluctant to see it, just to spite everyone. However, having a lack of entertainment last night drove me to break my previous boycott. I have to say, i'm glad i broke down and finally saw this movie. ITs as uplifting as it is heartbreaking. Gabouray Sidibay and Monique did fantastic jobs in each of their roles. This is a movie that definitely can and most likely will move you to tears at least a few times. Depending on your mood, you may take away a sense of joy from this movie, or severe depression. Just about everything horrible you can think of, short of being murdered, happens to Precious in this film. Somehow she gets through it all with a huge lovable smile on her face. This is powerful filmmaking and it most definitely deserved all the hype. If you haven't seen this yet, you should make it a point to rent it. Its the type of film that could change you.
