Precious Comes to DVD
Directed by Lee Daniels and starring Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe, Paula Patton, Mo'Nique, Mariah Carey, Sherri Shepherd and Lenny Kravitz.
Precious, based on the novel Push by Sapphire, is the poignant story of Claireece "Precious" Jones (Gabourey Sidibe), a sixteen-year-old African-American girl born into a life with an abusive mother and pedophile father. Set in Harlem in 1987, Precious shocks audiences with the notion that for the underdog, small milestones often mean great victories.
The critically acclaimed film, has recently earned an astonishing six Academy Award nominations in various categories including Best Supporting Actress for Mo’Nique's incarnation of a poisonously angry mother in the film. Time magazine’s Mary Pols says “too powerful for tears". Daniels and Sidibe give us a Precious we can't deny, who earns our respect even more than our pity. Dignity is her victory.” http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1935116,00.html#ixzz0ez...
