Our 2009 retrospective continues with another Best Picture nominee, "Precious: Based On The Novel 'Push' By Sapphire" starring Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey & Lenny Kravitz. Directed by Oscar-nominee Lee Daniels (the first openly gay Black nominated director) and written by Academy Award-winner Geoffrey Fletcher (the first Black screenwriter Oscar winner), the film was an indie sensation following its premiere at Sundance and festival run, leading to a wave of Black centered stories that had both positive and negative impacts on the industry. How does the film hold up today? Please join Josh Parham & Dan Bayer, and me as we discuss the incredible performances, Lee's direction, the writing, editing, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy our review! Thank you!
