From the book Push by Sapphire, Precious is the journey of a 16 year old girl trying to break free of the hardships pf life she's been living with her abusive mother. The father raped and got her pregnant twice leaving her mother angry at and jealous of her in believing that she took her husband.
Director Lee Daniels was clearly trying to provoke some emotion in people with this movie by giving them an in depth of view of the hard life that not just the character but many other young girls live today. Audiences are able to get a grasp othe hardknock life for young girls and in some way almost feel the pain being provoked.
There were several scenes that make you laugh bringing about some type of relief. The acting within the flim was great. From the role of Precious played by Gabourey Sidibe to the teacher played by Paula Patton, . Speechless at the performance of Monique, the mother, as she embodied a abusive mother sharply.
4 of 5 from me.
