Review of Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire (2009) by Alex V — 13 Sep 2011
Nominated for six Oscars and why not?! This film was outstanding and to give credit where credit is due, Mariah Carey was Phenomenal in her role as one of the main cast. The film was so heartbreakingly real, you could not help but cry for the main character- infact everyone in the cinema was gasping at the films harshess and crying when it became all to much (myself included).
In a pefect world, Precious will sweep the board at the Oscars but Gabourey Sidibe and Mo'Nique deserved their respective Oscars. What is more I hope that this movie shows the UK audiences the true talent of Executive Producer Tyler Perry as his films storm America but have never been in the UK until now. He is an amazing screen/playwrite and I have been a huge dan of his for years collecting his movies and plays from the states.
Unmissable, raw and utterly amazing! Worthy of it's Golden Globe and Oscar not since The Color Purple has a film been so powerful. If you haven't seen this film yet then why not? See it.
