welcome to elaney!

Considering the trailer has led us to a stream of tears twice already, we are scared to see this movie, but very much looking forward to it.  Precious has received some solid press, as it has been blowing film festivals out of the water AND Mariah Carey “gets ugly.”  Set in Harlem in 1987, Precious is the story of a sixteen-year-old African-American girl pregnant for the second time by her absent father.  Beneath her impassive expression is a watchful, curious young woman with an inchoate but unshakeable sense that other possibilities exist for her.  (paraphrased from RT).  Just thinking about the theme song is risky.   Verdict?  Waterworks.
