Movie #64 "Precious" is a gem of a filn, but very intense. You are on the edge of your seat, and uncomfrotable, from the get go. Mom is so abusive, there was shouting in the theatre I attended today. I liken it to "Billy Jack' in audience response, and that adds to the uncomfortability factor. Both women (Precious and her mom) should be nominated for their acting --- made it very believable, and so incredibly sad about the cycle of abuse. I can't remember emotionally responding so much to a film in a long time. See this one, but have a strong stomach!
