Precious

Rejoice... Our average existence is not half bad... but also, take a little time to look into the lives of those less fortunate. Take Precious, a sixteen year old girl, pregnant for the second time, which, you might figure, suffers from a lot of domestic abuse.

This movie is a downer, but at the same time it has a glimmer of hope. Acting is powerful, the story is simple and there aren't any more complications than needed (Precious's life is complicated enough as it is). If you thought Slumdog Millionaire was eye-opening and touching, Precious is a true picture of despair and dysfunction without the Deus-ex-machina happy-making machine. This Movie doesn't go lightly soooo.. no popcorn for this one, instead you might want to grab a box of facial tissues (aka Kleenex but I'm not being sponsored here). I think this is one of the best movies of the year, hell, it could even be the best one if it wasn't for it's somber low-down tone, which is never too popular at the box-office.

Drag your feet to rent it, because this is not the easy-going fare you might like to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon, after you're done, if you manage to stay awake, you might thank me for it... This of course, i'm rating with a Buy it. (Remember Steal it..Buy it... Rent it... Watch it)
