Precious

I am sure a lot of people are going to avoid this movie because it is not a "feel good" movie AT ALL. On the contrary, watching Precious' life unfold on the screen you really wonder what else could go wrong in someone's life. How is it possible to  believe that a person can really have such a horrible life? Specially when all the bad stuff done to her is coming from the two people who should love her and protect her from all the painful things in life. I could not help but wonder how could this person could go on living. But then, that is the magic of this movie, what makes all the painful things you have to watch worth it: Precious has hope and so much love for her kids that she wants to give them exactly everything that has not been given to her during her whole life. A tough and very human movie.
