Precious
Probably like Slumdog Millionaire except better/good.
Probably? Which of these films haven't you seen?
I've seen them both, but I'm still not sure the comparison is any more than minor. Judging by today's screening this film is going to pick up the same undeserved following of the mainstream Caucasians who feel they are not only insightful for seeing an 'independent' film, but also because they can sympathize with someone who is not nearly as light as they are. However, unlike Slumdog Millionaire, Precious is a good film that does deserve a lot of the love it's getting, just not nearly as much as I imagine it will garner. It's essentially a shoe in to get a Best Picture nomination too.
