Precious

This movie is incredible. By that I mean an incredibly disturbing and enlightening look into what happens behind closed doors in too many kids lives. The acting was off the charts. Oh my god did Monique deserve that Oscar. I mean talk about channelling some inner demons. She was ugly and evil. An absolute monster to the core. She played her part impeccably. 

I watched this movie two nights ago. Falling asleep both nights, I haven’t been able to get the sickening but real images out of my head from this flick. I cannot remember a movie ever doing that to me before.

I’d like to give props here to all those teachers (like the one portrayed in this movie) and any other “safe” adults who work with, support and love the kids that come from these horrific abusive households and somehow mange to show them there is hope out there.
