Precious Review

This past holiday weekend I went to see the film "Precious" directed by Lee Daniels. The film is based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire. Precious is a raw look at real life, and is a breath of fresh air in a world of love stories with only happy endings. The director(Lee Daniels)intended to shed light on the issues of abuse and incest, and he succeeded TREMENDOUSLY.

The film takes place in 1980s Harlem, where Claireece "Precious" Jones played by Gabourey Sidibe faces more adversities at the tender age of 16 than most experience in a lifetime. Precious lives in a repulsive world where her mother Mary (Mo'Nique) physically, emotionally, and sexually abuses her, and she is pregnant with her second child by her father. Due to her pregnancy Precious is kicked out of school, but offered a chance to attend an alternative program. This is a breaking point in Precious' life she meets her teacher Blu Rain (Paula Patton)and Mrs. Weiss (Mariah Carey) a social worker who both help Precious begin to cope with the abuse she's endured. The film is a success, the storyline, acting, and cinematography are so realistic it feels like your there watching one of your family members or best friends go through hell but you can't help. No one could have played a more raw and realistic Precious (Gabby Sidibe) and Mo'Nique captured Mary so well she truly made those watching hate her. This film is a beautifully raw tragedy.

I personally loved the film, it made me feel selfish and unappreciative of the life I've lived. Precious also made me feel hopeful, and pushed me to believe that there is no mountain to big to climb. The only problem I had with the film is that it didn't go into greater detail about the sexual abuse from Precious' mother. I also think they could have done some better casting for Precious' daughter it didn't fit. Overall the film was well received and I would recommend it for anyone, especially those who need a reality check.
