Gabourey Sidibe in Precious

Gabourey Sidibe in Precious

Reviewed by Kate Rodger

If there was ever a hard film to market it’s this one.

A black, obese, illiterate teenager pregnant with her own father’s child, barely surviving a life of mental, emotional, physical and sexual abuse from both father and mother – this is a story you definitely have to be in the right mood for, and it won’t be for everyone.

I can only say, if you’re up for it, this film is one of the most powerful and moving few hours you will ever spend in a cinema, and is a five-star watch.
