Sundance Standout is Precious

Based on the novel Push by Sapphire, Precious is a film about a pregnant teenager from an abusive home. Eric Kohn over at indiewire reviewed the film during its Sundance screening and had this to say about it: “A movie of many textures, each one illuminating the emotionally gripping narrative at its core. Lee Daniels directs with bold strokes that could go wrong at any moment, but generally serve to illuminate a troubled life and the justified desire to escape it.”
