This film was about a young girl growing up in a very broken home in Brooklyn during the 80's. The film was horrific, tragic, beautiful and moving. It was a real testament to both the best and worst of humanity. The acting in this film was second to none.  It kills me that The Blind Side took home a single award over this film.

The original title of the film is Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire,

Sometimes the Oscars get it right. Mo'Nique was outstanding in this, her monologue at the end is epic. It's not so much a coming of age film as a coming of life film. If that makes sense. There are over the top melodramatic moments, but all in all it's a very, very good movie.

“For precious girls everywhere” broke me.

Not an easy watch but some top tier performances and creative daydream sequences. Mo’Nique crushes a tough role. Love Patton and Carey.
