I’m always intrigued when a film divides the public and the audience in the way only films like Precious can do. There has been praise, awards and Oscar nominations. And equally some pretty harsh reviews like Guardian’s David Cox one, who defined it as ‘an insult to the poor’. Well, I have seen it four days ago and I still haven’t made my mind up. What I can tell for sure is that, regardless of whether you like it or not (but can anyone actually like a film of this kind?), it certainly sparks some pretty interesting debates.
Precious, screen version of Sapphire’s novel Push, is the bleak story of an obese black 16 year old schoolgirl from Harlem who, despite gruesome abuses from both her father and her mother, still holds on to her dreams of a better life for her and her children. It’s a grim tale and I’m not sure the ending is a happy one.
