Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry present “Precious”, a film by Lee Daniels based on the novel PUSH by Sapphire (2009).
Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of Claireece “Precious” Jones, a sixteen-year-old African-American girl born into a life no one would want. She’s pregnant for the second time by her absent father; at home, she must wait hand and foot on her mother a poisonously angry woman who abuses her emotionally and physically.
“This is an exceptional film about nearly unendurable circumstances, endured. You will come out the other side of it a markedly enriched filmgoer” Michael Phillips - Chicago Tribune

Precious dans la presse française
Precious mêle avec bonheur réalisme social plombant et fantaisie onirique, humour caustique et sens du tragique, mélodrame et espoir. Première, Didier Roth-Bettoni
Bien sûr, on peut reprocher à Precious de tirer à trop gros boulets sur nos cordes sensibles. Mais vous verrez, ça fait un bien fou de se sentir "sensible". Paris Match, Alain Spira
Ce film extrêmement éprouvant se révèle aussi énergique, engagé, naïf, déprimant et surchargé. Surtout, il sidère par la force de son interprétation. Le Parisien, Marie Sauvion
