Precious: The surprise hit of the year in the U.S., ready to captivate Australia in 2010. A powerful, moving, triumphant film with a big heart and a lot of hope that has audiences and critics shouting from the rooftops. A film that has already broken box-office records in the U.S. and taken out top awards at the Sundance and Toronto Film Festivals, as well as a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress (Mo'Nique). Now it has 6 Oscar Nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress. Starring an unknown actress in the lead role, the performances are astounding, the content at times very hard to watch, but ultimately what Precious does is fill you with hope and faith in the human spirit.
In Harlem, an overweight, illiterate teen pregnant with her second child is invited to enrol in an alternative school in hopes that her life can head in a new direction.
Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize (Dramatic) at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and the Audience Award at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.
