Miriah Carey stars in the film Precious, produced by Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry...
This is going to be a tear jerker of a movie and I can feel it.
Titled Precious, this film is is based on a novel Push by Sapphire directed by Lee Daniels and uses the pay off line Life is short, Life is Painful, Life is Rich, Life is...Precious.
The flick won the People's Choice award at the Toronto International Film festival earlier this month.
And Miriah play's the role of a social worker that decides to help in a rather life traumatic situation of a young girl.
It seems so sad but its a definite must see...
With sheer audacity and utter authenticity, director Lee Daniels tackles and creates an unforgettable film that sets a new standard for cinema of its kind.
Precious Jones (Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe) is a high-school girl with nothing working in her favor. She is pregnant with her father's child - for the second time. She can't read or write, and her schoolmates tease her for being fat.
Her home life is a horror, ruled by a mother (Mo'Nique) who keeps her imprisoned both emotionally and physically.
Precious's instincts tell her one thing: if she's ever going to break from the chains of ignorance, she will have to dig deeply into her own resources.
Don't be misled - this is not a film wallowing in the stillness of depression; instead, it vibrates with the kind of energy derived only from anger and hope.
Daniels has drawn from them inimitable performances that will rivet you to your seat and leave you too shocked to breathe.
If you passed Precious on the street, you probably wouldn't notice her. But when her story is revealed, as Daniels does in this courageous film, you are left with an indelible image of a young woman who - with creativity, humor, and ferocity - finds the strength to turn her life around.- Movie Insider
