Why watch the movie Precious?
"Based on the novel "Push" by Sapphire, "Precious" may seem like a very discouraging story about the reality that was lived (and still is) in the predominantly black Harlem neighborhood of New York City during the eighties. However, it is not just a matter of witnessing pure gratuitous misfortune but rather the film also offers some vestiges of hope, in addition to noteworthy performances by Mo'Nique and Gabourey Sidibe. Winner of two Oscars: Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress."
