Bold Acting Choices

Without pushing its own sociological agenda, Precious succeeds at painting a raw and thought-provoking portrait of the struggles of poverty and pursuing dreams. Its heart is a breakthrough performance by Gabourey Sidibe and its villain (albeit a somewhat sympathetic one) is the fearless and piercing turn by Mo'nique (though there's nothing funny at all about her portrayal.)
