A Very Precious Film

The film Precious is about a teenage girl living in Harlem coping with terrible adversities who's struggling to turn her unhappy life around. The film is based on the novel Push by Sapphire who is an American author and performance poet.

Precious stars new-comer Gabourey Sidibe who plays Precious Jones and also includes comedienne/actress Mo'Nique who plays Precious's awful mother, Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz.

I can't wait to see this film. It seems like a very deep film. I hear Monique does a good job.

Hi Sandra

The few seconds I saw Mo'Nique playing mother to Precious on the trailer, I took a dislike to her so her performance must be strong throughout.

I hope impatience doesn't get the better of me and I actually wait until tne end of the year to see this film on the big screen as opposed to a dodgy copy stolen from somewhere and sold to me for £5 by someone carrying a bag full of illegalities.

Hi August,

I hope they don't hype the movie too soon before it is released. There is already a buzz about the film and performances.

Stay away from the bootleggers. LOL
