Review of Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire (2009) by Jenny H — 25 Jul 2011
Brilliant Daniels' directorial debut about pregnant teenage girl, raped by her father and abused by mother.....not very easy movie to watch.
Great script....great direction....great cast. Oscar winning performance by M'Nique who plays abusing mother is so amazing.....totally irrational, neurotic and evil....she just captures you with the malice inside of her.
But the true discovery is young Sidibe as Precious....absolutely amazing performance....so intense and introvert....it seems like she isn't acting than just living the story....amazing....totally Oscar rip off......
