Review of Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire (2009) by Amy Biancolli for San Francisco Chronicle — 18 Oct 2014
A movie about an obese Harlem teenager who's raped by her father and abused by her mother. It's depressing, devastating, harrowing and repulsive. But there are lyric flights of hope interspersed among that raw naturalism, and that's what makes this movie amazing.
