'Precious' FILM
'Precious'

Over the next few months, you'll be reading a lot about Precious, Lee Daniels's stylish, shocking drama about a New York teen making her way through a life of violent abuse and oppression. Don't let the "Oprah-endorsed Oscar bait" hype stop you from experiencing a tremendous new movie. Precious is far from perfect, but this is a world that's never seen the screen before, brought to life by an extraordinary cast, including Gabourey Sibide, Mariah Carey, Xosha Roquemore, and Mo'Nique. (See Movie Times: thestranger.com/film.) by David Schmader

"Precious" is scheduled to play in Sumter, SC but not Spokane? Boo.

Is Xosha Roquemore the one in the trailer who loves neon beige and wants to get her GED? If so I'm glad her role is bigger than that moment because that cracked me up.

It is a great movie.

Fair warning - Vanity Fair has a puff piece on the author of the original work and cool pics of the lead actress.

I'm seeing it tomorrow! I'm so excited! I'm taking out my contacts and putting on my glasses, because I expect to cry my eyes out.

As a native South Carolinian in Seattle, Sumter has a lot of black folks living there. As for Spokane....

I'm seeing it tonight with some friends.
