Precious (Blu-ray)

Difficult to write a review for this movie, it came with a lot of hype for a small budget movie.
Almost like the token small movie that makes it big every year, like Slumdog Millionaire, Little Miss Sunshine, Juno etc
It is by turns Terrifying to watch the Human Drama unfolding but ultimately a movie about Hope and the unbreakable Human Spirit.
The story is based on a novel and not a True story, but is based on things that do happen in real life, which makes the experience all the more shocking.
The Performance by Gabourey Sidibe in her first role is very Natural and you really feel for her plight.
Paula Patton as the teacher is good, but a little Micelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous Minds at times
But the most memorable performance is from Mo Nique, she is a total MONSTER.
There is a real sense of trepidation EVERY TIME she came into the story. She will give me nightmares for a long time.

Just to touch on a few of the previous Reviews this is NOT a Girly film or a Mariah Carey film.
Its just a very Moving and Passionate low budget film that has a Girl in the Lead Role and Mariah Carey in a very good supporting role.
