Went to see the movie Precious at the Hawaii International Film Festival last night. Its been getting a lot of hype thanks to Oprah...but seriously...
Precious - its not.
I wanted a more dramatic, uplifting, she-made-it kind of ending.
I wanted less swearing (yikes I never heard so much bad language in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The acting certainly was amazing - Mariah Carey, Mo'Nique, even Lenny Kravitz...you couldn't even recognize them.
But the story is just too sad, too brutal, too tough to watch for me at least.
So I came away neither uplifted nor inspired, neither fulfilled nor excited, neither enchanted nor in awe.
I came away feeling polluted...certainly not Precious.
