Precious movie based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire (2009) showtimes are in demand.

Excitement surrounding the film Precious continues to grow as the gripping tale of a young woman’s struggle to overcome her past opens in theaters this weekend. The film’s main character is Claireece “Precious” Jones, an abused teen mother who is dark-skinned, overweight and illiterate.

Precious is about a morbidly obese illiterate teenager living in Harlem.  Her mother is a welfare-scamming foul-mouthed abusive matriarch who resented her daugther because her father “preferred” her since the age of three.  Her father? Oh yeah, he’s got AIDS and has gotten Precious pregnant for the second time.

“This movies stands to raise some issues that need lifting out of the dark,” Dr. Joy Lawson Davis, a diversity educator at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. He continues “I say more power to the filmmakers, actors, and to Sapphire for having the courage to put this in writing.”

Both Oprah and Tyler Perry endorse Precious, although neither were involved in the movie. Among the cast is Mo’Nique and Lenny Kravitz.
