Review: What we have here is the story of ultimate violence and abuse that is way too much for a young teenager. This story is based and adapted from the remarkable novel Push written by Sapphire who had terrible experience as a teacher in Harlem, the poorest black district of New York, so lots of stunning and horrific things that you can see in the movies are actually taken from our gloom reality.

The name of the main character is Clareece Jones and her nickname is Precious. She experienced so much abuse in her life that it is strange that she is not in the metal hospital yet. Her father raped her regularly and she even was pregnant twice because of that. Her extremely brutal mother didn’t care about it at all, she treated her daughter is absolutely disgusting way including physical violence. It is not surprising that this poor black teenage has low score in the school and doesn’t care about anything that surrounds her in this dramatic everyday life. Precious comes to the pint there she thinks that love, care and good attitude is something outstanding and definitely not real until she faces very kind and helpful teacher who tries to revive her from terrors of her childhood and her present desperate situation.

Talented director Lee Daniels allows us to feel the emotional side of his heroes. He shows simple wishes of Precious who wants to have white boyfriend and be on the cover of magazine sometimes in her future but instead faces this cruel horrifying world. The depth of characters here and the art of screenplay is great here. For an absolute novice Gabourey Sidibe plays in an absolutely fantastic way and her evil mother acted by Mo’Nique makes us hate her from the very first scene till the end of the movie there she is dealing with government agent investigating the fact of family abuse and violence.

However you should be prepared that you would face truly shocking plot and some of these scenes are extremely terrific. Child abuse is depicted in a very realistic manner so you would see lots of explicit violence. That is why Precious is rated R for it’s abusive scenes, sexual harassment and very rude language. But in case you are not scared to face worst sides of our reality – this film would make you think more about everyday problem and never forget that so many children are still beaten and abused but their own parents and they don’t have even one chance to get a normal happy life.
