Viewing Notes
Finally caught up with Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire (2009) directed by Lee Daniels. Maybe I just wasn’t in the best viewing mood but this film didn’t strike the right chord with me. Yes, I think it’s a solid film but the alt-universe visualization stuff didn’t work for me. All the acting is excellent so I’ve already decided I will have to watch this again under better circumstances.
