Often the film adaptation of a novel is never as good as the novel itself. Having never read the 1996 novel “Push” by Sapphire, I can’t tell you whether the recently released film “Precious” is better or worse. What I do know, is that this film about a black, sixteen year old, obese, illiterate Harlem girl, who lives in housing commission, and who is raped and impregnated by her father and abused by her mother, is not only confronting; but educational, heart wrenching and inspiring.
Precious is now showing at cinema’s everywhere.
