Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire

Matthew Brady - wrote on 02/22/14

"My precious". Precious is an illiterate fifteen year old girl who is pregnant with her father's second child. Her abusive mother leads her to believe that she is worthless, her situation leads her to believe that she is without value, and her image leads her to believe that she will never be precious. When an enigmatic alternative professor teaches her to write and to love, Precious realizes that the most powerful message is the one she gives herself. this movie is powerful and hard to watch in parts. Mo'Nique was outstanding in this film and Gabourey 'Gabby' Sidibe did great too.
