Director Lee Daniels takes no prisoners with his second film that leaves one shell shocked. The powerful tale of an severely abused teenage girl on the edge who finds hope and help in the most unlikely place. The girl is Clareece 'Precious' Jones who has been physically and psychologically abused by her mother and father that she doesn't expect to find kindness elsewhere. Daniels takes you in places you never thought possible without leaving out any details with a fearless cast and crew. Through some dream sequences and stylized approach Daniels manages to get the point across without losing its audience but making sure you won't forget the film any time soon. Gabourey 'Gabby' Sidibe is outstanding at the title character as is Mo'Nique as her monstrous mother. The cast also includes a superb Paula Patton and the inspired casting of Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz works surprising well. YRCinema's coverage of the 62nd Festival de Cannes.
