I hate hype. Hype has killed so many things that when I started hearing the buzz around Precious, I knew I needed to see it sooner rather than later or else the continuous praise might release the inner-hater in me.
I caught the film at a Frameline screening last night and can honestly say it deserves all the accolades it has received/will continue to receive. The film is a roller coaster of emotion but thanks to wonderful dialogue and fantastic acting, it never feels cheap. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
