Precious


Precious (2009)
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0929632/]

The Gist:
I'm not calling it by it's actual name because frankly, having a title that long just plug the book is retarded. As far as the actual movie goes, I'm a little amazed that I liked it so much. It's not even close to as melodramatic as you would think it would be given its trailer and its support from the likes of Tyler Perry and Oprah. Instead, the film intelligently blends a sense of stark realism with hints of escapism that help both the character and the audience alike. Also, there are powerhouse performances from nearly everyone.
