2009: Oscar Nominations in a Lonely Role3 of 5
Precious (2009) starts as a vast horizon of despair, immortalized by Gabourey Sidibe's deadpan expression, speaking thousand words about all the hell she's been through. But the film is less about her abusive mother (Mo'Nique) than two others who care for her (Paula Patton and Mariah Carey). Under their support, Precious learns to smile, to talk, to stand to her mother, to triumph! A powerful journey far beyond the hackneyed 'inner beauty' formula.
