Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire

Wow. This movie was amazing. If you can't handle intense family dysfunction and terrible child abuse then don't watch "Precious". I am too aware of how many sick people sexually, physically and mentally abuse their children so the popularity of this movie is refreshing. Director Lee Daniels cuts no corners with this film. I watched this with little or no research done on cast or plot I was just bored online looking for good torrents. I was soon astonished by the acting done by Mo'nique. Oh my, this role as a very abusive and scary mother opens many doors for her. She sets the mood and soon you will find yourself emerged in the life of a persevering young women fighting to stay alive in many ways. There are two surprising musical artist roles as well, I feel it's funner if you don't know because they are no where near as glamorous as they usually portray themselves to be. I rate this movie a 9/10 strictly because of the "realness". Some may not understand why a movie is showcased with such strong, touchy subjects being highlighted. Some may be offended or disgusted. I was touched and even more inclined to help people like Precious.
