Impeccably acted and perfectly structured, Precious: Based on the novel Push by Sapphire is a murky portrait of life that is difficult to watch, but the performances are so incredible that the movie is no less than a masterpiece.

Sidibe and Mo'nique are brilliant showing the two faces of a coin and the consecuences of a broken family, there are some scenes where the confrontations are so extreme that I thought "the world is fucked".

And even if the world is that way in some places this film demonstrates that even in the darkest place some kind of light can illuminate it.
