...because the what matters usually goes unseen.
id just like to begin by saying that i love oprah winfrey and tyler perry.
"In 1987, obese, illiterate, black 16-year-old Claireece Precious Jones (Gabourey Sidibe) lives in Harlem with her dysfunctional mother, Mary (Mo'Nique). She has been impregnated twice by her father, Carl, and suffers long term physical, mental and sexual abuse from her unemployed mother. The family resides in a Section 8 tenement and subsists on welfare. Her first child, known only as "Mongo" (short for "Mongoloid"), has Down syndrome and is being cared for by Precious's grandmother."
from the hands of the producer of 'monsters ball' now also in the directors chair, lee daniels. the film adaptation of a novel entitled 'push' by author and performance poet sapphire. a film released without a distributor at first, with oprah winfrey and tyler perry stepping on board as executive producers later on, in what is described as a promotional push. and here we are, nominated for 6 oscars and i can honestly that, in an oscars of some heavy rollers, if they dont take away atleast some things, then the system officially becomes a joke. it moves from being a dark horse into a must for me. that includes comedian mo'nique. a first timer of such of capacity in gabourey sidibe.
reviews as they tend to be, can be varied in the criticism and praise. i would say you would be fools for not checking for this and say it with conviction. people need to see this.
go and see this you guys.
