Precious, a movie adapted from Sapphire's novel Push, is a story of undying hope and painful sacrifice. It takes viewers on an emotional rollercoaster and sucks them, phenomenally, into intense swings of the pain, anguish and joy of the characters. Set in Harlem in the late 1980s, Precious revolves around 16-year-old Claireece Precious Jones (newcomer Gabourey Sidibe), an obese, illiterate girl whose sole activities revolve around her struggle for emancipation from the abuse that surrounds her.
