Synopsis

Precious is not easy to watch, but it is bound to be one of the most praised American films of 2009. Newcomer Gabourey Sidibe embodies Precious, an overweight, undereducated Harlem teen who's carrying her second child. When given the chance to enroll in an alternative school, she sees an opportunity to escape her abusive upbringing and impoverished surroundings. "Everyone involved deserves credit for creating a movie so dangerous, problematic and ultimately elevating" (Variety). Costarring Mo'Nique, Mariah Carey, and Lenny Kravitz. Executive produced by Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey. Based on the 1996 novel, Push, by slam poet Sapphire. Winner of the Grand Jury, Special Jury and Audience prizes at Sundance.
