The Season is "Precious"

The novel "Push" by Sapphire is pushed to the forefront...

I remember, as I was watching the preview in the theatre next to my mother, being instantly engaged in the rawness of the portrayed roles. Tears welled up as I heard the powerful unspoken dialogue that toiled within the characters. I thought "these actors are coming from a real place"!

I can't wait to see this movie! I'm as waif as they come yet all women can relate to the outward and inward struggles that pressure and plague us when no one is looking.

Tyler Perry and Oprah have banded together to birth on screen the novel "Push" written by Sapphire, which is known to be a true story... whose story, Idk.

Anyhow, the movie is bound to move and encourage many I'm sure. The cast: Mo’Nique, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, Sherri Shepherd, Lenny Kravitz, and new face, Gabourey Sidibe. Award forecast... goes to Gabby and Mo'nique... Mad kudos for freeing Mariah from her "insecurities" (we can all use a dose of that), Sherri is the best at adding realness to any project, and I'm curious about Lenny. For there to be two great comedians in this movie, it's shocking to see how very serious the tone is. This is showing how connected Mo'Nique and Sherri are to insightful issues and how they are flexible in talent - Go girls!
