omg, i saw 'precious' last night...

it. was. 11. biscuits. 

i know joel has told y'all like a millz times, but i'm going to say it once more. go see it, if you can. it's not as horribly disturbing as it looks. it's more like upliftingly disturbing. every single role is executed flawlessly, with a standout performance by mo'nique. i also thoroughly enjoyed the harlem imagery, which was beautifully presented.

don't get me wrong, you WILL cry. more than once. but you'll also laugh plenty, and leave feeling surprisingly hopeful, despite the unresolved matter of accidentally allowing a down's syndrome child to be named mongo.

gulp.

FYI: precious opens nov 6th in select cities, and in the country the weekend after. here's an article from NYT magazine for you, like you need any more convincing.
