Directed by Lee Daniels (Monsters Ball), PRECIOUS: Based on the Novel "PUSH" By Sapphire is a sure contender for an OSCAR. Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of Claireece Precious Jones played by newcomer, (Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe), a sixteen-year-old African-American girl who gets pregnant for the second time by her absentee father. At home, Precious suffers emotional and physical abuse from her mother, which is played brilliantly by B-More's own, Monique Hicks. From this trailer alone, both Monique and Gabby are absoulutely brilliant!
I almost didn't recognize the beautiful R&B sensation Mariah Carey as the social worker. This ain't no Glitter (although) I enjoyed that movie; but anyway - Mariah is coming into her own as an actress. Rounding out the cast is the beautiful and talented Paula Patton, who plays the caring teacher, Sherri Shephard and Lenny Kravitz. Wow! Great job on this one LEE! I must say that this film should definitely be nominated in at least 4 categories: Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director and Best Film.
The film will be released on November 6 in New York and Los Angeles. This is definitely a film worth waiting for!
