Watched Precious: Based on the Novel Push By Sapphire last night. Great film, all around. It was also not what I expected. What did I expect? I'm not quite sure, but Precious was far more fantastical a film, and more sweeping in scope and execution, then I thought it would.
All the performances were great, especially Gabourey Sibide - classic.
But, the best part of the film is its title. Here are some variations:
Novel: Precious Based on the Sapphire By Push
Sapphire: Push Based on the Precious By Novel
Based: Sapphire Push on the Novel by Precious
Push: On the Novel Based by Sapphire Precious
Sapphire Based on the Precious Push: Novel
OK OK, I could do this all day - and I think I did yesterday. Anyways, if you felt any reservations about seeing Precious for any reason, don't. One of the best of the past year. All praise deserved.
