Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire
Directed by Lee Daniels
In Harlem in 1987, Claireece "Precious" Jones is a 16-year-old African American girl born into a life no one would want. She's pregnant for the second time by her absent father, and at home she must wait hand and foot on her mother, an angry woman who abuses her emotionally and physically. School is chaotic and Precious has reached the ninth grade with good marks and a secret – she can't read. From TMDB

22 of 22 · most liked firstThis is so important. In my complexities of education class A few years ago I was setting context for the film Precious Knowledge and was like "and you have to remember this is the rise of the tea party..." And a student asked "I'm sorry but what is the tea party?" And everyone nodded.
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching PRECIOUS (2009). Director: Lee Daniels. Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique. Does this qualify as horror? Umm, yes. Keeping it light & breezy with this rewatch! 🤣 As I recall, heartwarming story of mother/daughter bonding. Of course, my memory isn't what it used to be. 6 Oscar noms. #filmsky 📽

neutral · AI labelView post →I was a little edgelord of a teen so I laughed my way through lots of horror films. While not technically a "horror" movie, I think I'll never be able to get Precious (2009) out of my psyche. Absolutely bone chilling and horrendously well made.
positive · AI labelView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of PRECIOUS boxd.it/gWXu59 So relentless in depicting psychological & physical abuse, first half lacks any subtlety & is difficult to endure. But as movie continues, hard edge balances with moments of hope & wonder. Grounded performances distinguish story of rebirth. #filmsky 📽
positive · AI labelView post →Ever see the movie Precious?
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched the film Precious recently and Gabourey deserved an award for this role, and I'm glad Mo'nique received one. This is a hard movie. I also liked Ms. Rain because it's nice to see a teacher that is closer to the students and isn't white still have an impact.

The song appeared on the B-side to Lennox's 1992 #single "#Precious". Whitney Houston released a reworked crossover R&B/pop cover version in 1996 on the soundtrack to the film #ThePreachersWife. Houston's version replaces Lennox's verses with new lyrics and omits portions of the bridge. Annie Lennox provides backing vocals for Houston's rendition.…
neutral · AI labelView post →Towards the tail end of the 1980s, "Precious" (Gabourey Sidibe) is feeling anything but. Intimidated by her angry, petty criminal, mother "Mary" (Mo'Nique) whilst expecting her second child by her own father. She's 16, big, black and constantly bullied - with little chance of that cycle improving amidst a community that isn't looking for any new problems. Sometimes the only solace this girl can take is when she imagines herself living a more glamorous, escapist, lifestyle - but those are merely…
positive · AI labelView post →This is kind of a rough movie to watch. A very victimized and bullied teen tries to get through life. It ends on a fairly positive note but damn. Incest babies is just a weird, skin crawling topic for me so that is always going to be rough to go through.
