Precious (2009)

Precious
Grade: A- (Watch it)
Review: This is an exceptional sociodrama about the life of a teenage girl living through urban "hell" - poverty, sexual abuse, teen pregnancy, domestic violence, verbal abuse, illiteracy and more. This is not a Hollywood feel good happy ending, or a gangsta movie that glorifies crime and romanticizes backward values - this movie is a simple and powerful depiction of a tragic reality. This sad reality on the other hand is a deafening call for change. A serious Oscar contender.
