2. I read a laudatory review of this movie in the WP. I want to see it - thanks for the info.

Movies come, movies go. But a rare few arrive like gifts, sent by some cosmic messenger to stir the senses, awaken compassion and send viewers into a world made radically new by invigorated alertness and empathy. Such is the movie "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," which surely qualifies as the most painful, poetic and improbably beautiful film of the year.

3. I have been wanting to see it since I saw the trailer.
I cannot wait. I'll probably go tomorrow night. Thanks for the tip.

5. I heard the Terry Gross interview with the director,
Lee Daniels, it was very good. I'm not sure I can see the film, it might be
too emotional for me. I don't do well seeing films about child abuse, it stays
with me for some time after.
