Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire

Did I like this movie?  I really can't say that I did.  I mean, the performances were phenomenal (esp. by Mo'Nique who deserves her Oscar) and for that alone I give this movie 3 stars.  But the content was just so disturbing and sickening that I was nauseated the entire time and almost stopped watching the movie halfway through.  The violence and abuse depicted are so extreme as to border on sensationalism.  I have to disagree with the Academy on this one for choosing this movie as a Best Picture nominee in 2010.


3 out of 5 stars
