Precious (2009 Lee Daniels)

I had forgetten quite how gruelling PRECIOUS was, particularly the visit to mother with baby and ensuing assault by television, but thankfully Lee Daniels adds flair and imagination to Sapphire's one and only novel, and it's richly photographed by Andrew Dunn.

Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique, Paula Patton (teacher), Maria Carey, Lenny Kravitz.

Mo'Nique and scriptwriter Geoffrey Fletcher won Oscars.

A rare moment of happiness for poor old Precious.
Lee's new film The Paperboy has mixed reviews.
