Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire is a 2009 American drama film directed by Lee Daniels. Precious is a film adaptation of the award-winning 1996 novel Push by Sapphire. The film's mainly female cast, features Gabourey Sidibe as the title character, and Mo'Nique, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz in supporting roles. The film marks the acting debut of Sidibe.

The film, then without a distributor, premiered to acclaim at both the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, under its original title of Push: Based On The Novel By Sapphire.[2][3] At Sundance, it won the Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize for best drama, as well as a Special Jury Prize for supporting actress Mo'Nique.[4] After the film's screening at Sundance in February 2009, Tyler Perry announced that he and Oprah Winfrey would be providing promotional assistance to the film, which was released through Lions Gate Entertainment. Precious won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. The film's title was changed from Push to Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire, to avoid any confusion with the 2009 action film Push.[5]

Lions Gate released the film in North America on November 6, 2009 in limited release, widening the release on November 20. The film was released to largely positive reviews from critics; the acting, the story, and its message were generally praised, with criticism mainly aimed at fears of the film's content sending a negative message; some reviewers felt that the film did not live up to its hype. In the film's opening weekend, in limited release, it grossed $1.8 million, putting it in 12th place at the box office. The film, as of January 6, 2010, has made over $43 million, recouping its $10 million budget.[6 ] The film currently has received multiple awards and nominations; including three Golden Globe and Screen Actor Guild nominations.

Plot

Further information: Plot of the novel

In 1987, obese, illiterate, black 16-year-old Claireece "Precious" Jones lives in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem with her dysfunctional mother; she has been raped and impregnated twice by her father, Carl, and suffers long term physical, mental and sexual abuse from her unemployed mother, Mary. The family resides in a Section 8 tenement and subsists on welfare. Her first child, known only as "Mongo" (short for "Mongoloid"), has Down syndrome and is being cared for by Precious's grandmother.

Following the discovery of Precious' second pregnancy, she is suspended from school. Her junior high school principal arranges to have her attend an alternative school, which she hopes can help Precious change her life's direction.[7] Precious finds a way out of her traumatic daily existence through imagination and fantasy. While she is being raped by her father, she looks at the ceiling and imagines herself in a music video shoot; in the video, she is the superstar and the focus of attention. While looking in photograph albums, she imagines the pictures talking to her. When she looks in the mirror, she sees a pretty, white, thin, blonde girl. In her mind there is another world, one in which she is loved and appreciated.

Inspired by her new teacher Miss Blu Rain, Precious begins learning to read. Precious meets sporadically with a social worker named Miss Weiss, who learns about incest in the household when Precious unintentionally implies it to her. She gives birth to her second child and names him Abdul. While at the hospital, she meets John McFadden, a nurse who shows kindness to her. After Mary deliberately drops three-day-old Abdul and hits Precious, Precious fights back long enough to get her son and flees her home, permanently. Shortly after leaving the house, in an attempt to get out of the cold outside, Precious breaks into her school classroom and is found there in the morning by Miss Rain. The teacher finds assistance for Precious and she begins raising her son in a half-way house while she continues academically.

Feeling dejected, Precious meets Miss Weiss at her office, after a short conversation when Miss Weiss leaves the room, Precious steals her case file. Precious recounts the details of the file to her fellow students and has a new lease on life. Her mother comes back into her life to inform Precious that her father has died of AIDS. Later, Precious finds out that she and her mother are both HIV positive, but that Abdul is not. Mary and Precious see each other for the last time in Miss Weiss' office, where Weiss questions Mary on her abuse of Precious, and uncovers specific traumas Precious encountered. The film ends with Precious still resolved to improve for herself and for her children. She severs ties with her mother and makes plans to complete a General Educational Development test.

Carey at the premiere of Tennessee in 2008. Daniels stated he cast her in the role of Mrs. Weiss based on her performance in this film.

In September 2007, Gabourey Sidibe, 24, was cast as Claireece "Precious" Jones. In the film, "Precious" is verbally, sexually and physically abused by her parents and is an illiterate overweight teenager, who's expecting her second child and is given her last chance to get an education, via an alternative school in Harlem. Sidibe was given the role of Precious over 300 young girls who had auditioned in casting calls around the country.[7] At the time of casting, Sidibe had no acting experience;[8] though she was familiar with her character, having read the novel Push a few years prior when her mother, Alice Tan Ridley, was approached to play the role of Mary in an earlier production that never came to fruition.[9]

Helen Mirren was originally cast as Ms. Weiss, Precious' social worker who supports her during her journey. Mirren dropped out before production started for unspecified reasons, and Mariah Carey, in her second Daniels film, was then cast in the role.[9] In September 2008,[10][11] Carey described her character as “not really a likable person, but she does bring this to the surface".[11][12] Carey and Daniels had previously worked together on Tennessee.[7] Daniels stated that he'd cast Carey because he was "so impressed" by her performance in Tennessee.[10] Sapphire (the author of the novel) makes a cameo appearance as a woman at a day care center near the end of the film.[13]

Paula Patton was cast as Ms. Blu Rain, Precious' alternative school teacher.[14] Patton stated that her character teaches Precious to "learn and read and write from the very beginnings, and pushes her to believe in herself, and pushes her to realize that anything is possible."[14] Mo'Nique was cast as Mary Lee Johnston, Precious' mother, who is verbally and physically abusive.[8] Mo'Nique and Daniels had previous worked together on the 2005 film Shadowboxer.[9] Bill Sage was cast as Mr. Wicher. Sage had co-starred with Carey in Glitter, as well as previously working with Daniels on Tennessee.[7] Robert De Niro's wife Grace Hightower was cast as a social worker;[13] her role in the film marks her first acting role and film debut.[15]

In October 2007, Stephanie Andujar, 23, was cast as Rita, a 16-year-old former heroin addict and prostitute, who attends the same alternative school in Harlem as Precious and later befriends her.[16] During Andujar's audition, Daniels had been so impressed that he interrupted her during her dialogue and stated, "I want you in my movie."[16] Lenny Kravitz was cast as John McFadden, a nurse who shows kindness to Precious.[7][10] This film is Kravitz's feature film acting debut.[7]

Production

Precious was filmed on location in various parts of New York City, including the film's main setting Harlem, for the period of over five weeks.

The film is directed by Lee Daniels and co-produced by Daniels' company, Lee Daniels Entertainment, and the Sarah Siegel-Magness and Gary Magness owned, Smokewood Entertainment Group.[17] The two production companies had previously collaborated with Daniels on Tennessee.[17] Precious has, in total, twelve producers: Daniels, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Heller, Tyler Perry, Lisa Cortes, Gary Magness, Valerie Hoffman, Asger Hussain, Mark G. Magges, Berrgen Swason, Simone Sheffield and Sarah Siegel-Magness.[18] In September, 2007, Carey confirmed that the film's writer, Barsocchini, was still working on the script, and that the script was still in its early stages.[10] Due to the mature subject matter of the film, it was rated "R" by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) in the United States for the film's content of "child abuse including sexual assault, and pervasive language."[19]

After the film was screened at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival in January, Precious was picked up for distribution by Lions Gate Entertainment and received promotional assistance from Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions and Tyler Perry's 34th Street Films.[20] Precious marks the first theatrical film to be affiliated with Perry's 34th Street Films in the company's history. [21] The film was given a $10 million production budget.[1] The film was given a limited-theater release nationwide in North America on November 6, and on November 20, the film was given a wider release with three-times more theaters.[1]

In February 2009, both Lionsgate and The Weinstein Company filed lawsuits contesting ownership of the rights to release the film.[22] Both companies claims that they'd purchased distribution rights to Precious, The Weinstein Company claimed that they had 'secured' there rights while Lionsgate stated that they owned the rights to the film's distribution in North America.[22] Precious' sales agent, Cinetic Media, denied Weinstein's claims stating that they failed to finalize the deal.[22]

The film completed principal photography (filming) in less than five weeks.[9] During the five week period of filming, the film was filmed on location in various parts of New York City.[23] During the five weeks of filming, the film lost an editor, a cinematographer, three continuity people, three location managers, two producers, two assistant directors, two sound people, two video playback people, and two caterers.[9] No reason was given for the loss of multiple members of the films crew.

Music

Main article: Precious (soundtrack)

Robin Thicke wrote and produced "Push", the film's original main theme music.[24] This was briefly replaced with Mariah Carey's song "100%", which Carey recorded specifically for the soundtrack.[25] Later announcements stated that the song would be replaced by Mary J. Blige's "I Can See In Color".[26] Leona Lewis' song, "Happy" (from her album Echo) is featured in the film's trailer.[27] Daniels stated that the artists featured on the film's soundtrack were selected because they "resonate not only in Precious's world, but speak to your soul no matter who you are."[28] Lionsgate Music confirmed that United States' recording artists Queen Latifah and Mahalia Jackson have recorded songs that will appear on the film's soundtrack.[28] The soundtrack features LaBelle, Donna Allen, Jean Carn, Sunny Gale, and MFSB.[26]

Lionsgate, in association with Matriarch/Geffen Records released the soundtrack online as a digital download on November 3, 2009,[29] and released the soundtrack in stores on November 23.[26][28] Daniels stated that there are plans to release Blige's "I Can See in Color" as a single from the soundtrack.[28] The song was written by Blige, Raphael Saadiq and LaNeah Menzies and is produced by Raphael Saadiq.[29] People Magazine Daily noted that the film "mainly had a music supervised soundtrack, but not much of a score, so there were popular songs placed in the movie."[30] Rolling Stone described the song, "I Can See In Color" as being "...a knockout song...expressing the goal of Precious to see the world in color."[26]

The film's director, Lee Daniels, stated that he was, at first, "embarrassed" to screen Precious at the Cannes Film Festival because he felt that it would show African-Americans in a negative light, due to its content.[31]

Precious was screened during the 2009 Sundance Film Festival from January 15, 2009 until January 25 in Park City, Utah.[32] While the film was screened at Sundance, Precious was listed under its original under title of Push: Based On The Novel By Sapphire, to avoid confusion with another 2009 film entitled "Push".[2][3] Precious appeared in the Un Certain Regard section at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival in May, 2009.[33] At Cannes, the film received a fifteen-minute standing ovation from the audience after the film was screened.[31] Daniels stated that, at first he was "embarrassed" to show Precious at Cannes because he did not want "to exploit black people" and wasn’t sure if he "wanted white French people to see our world."[31] After the great success at the film's screenings at Sundance, reporters took note that the film could mirror the success of other films that had been screened and praised at the festival. [21] [34] S. James Snyder, compared Precious's success at Sundance to that of 2008's The Wrestler and Slumdog Millionaire; both films later were nominated for multiple Academy Awards'; Slumdog itself winning Best Picture. [21]

Winfrey, a producer of the film, used her status as both a celebrity and a media personality to give the film a "high-profile promotional push". [21] [35] At a press conference, regarding the film, Winfrey announced her intention to lead a promotional campaign on behalf of Precious along with her other various platforms, hoping to be able to "bring in different audiences" by promoting the film on her show, in her magazine and on her satellite-radio channel. [21] Katie Walmsley of CNN, stated, based on the film's positive reception at the Toronto Film Festival, that the film "at the very least, [because of] the [Toronto] award will guarantee "Precious" substantial distribution, as well as exposure for two-time director Daniels." [34] The trailer for Precious was shown during previews of the film's producer Perry's film I Can Do Bad All By Myself in September 2009.[36]

Box office

The film was given a limited-theater release and is scheduled to be released only in North America. However a release date has been set at February 4th in Australia. During the opening weekend release of Precious, the film was only shown on 18 screens nationwide yet earned over $1,872,458, averaging over $104,000 per theater. This placed the film twelfth place at the box office.[1][37] The film saw a 213.7% increase in its second week of release, earning $5,874,628 at 174 theaters, with a per-theater average of $33,762. The film moved up from twelfth to third place in box office grosses for the week, slightly edging out The Men Who Stare at Goats, which was released widely yet made only $5,861,753.[1] On November 20, 2009, the film received a wider release, playing at 629 theaters (thus tripling the number of theaters showing the film).[1] Studio estimates predicted that during the film's third week of release (first in wide release) that the film was expected to place in the top-ten box office charts with a revenue of over 11 million.[38] The film, like studios estimated, placed in the top-ten chart, taking sixth place.[1] With the revenue of an estimated 11,008,000, the film saw a 87.4% increase from the previous week.[1]

In the film's fourth week of release, despite having an increase in theaters, the film saw a 34.8% decrease in profits with the revenue of $7,090,000, placing the film at eight place at the box office.[39] By the film's fifth week of release it saw a 67.4% decrease, placing outside of the top 10 at the box office at twelfth place with the revenue of $2,310,000.[40] In the film's sixth week of release it saw a 43.9% decrease, making 1,280,550, placing it within the top 20 charting position's at the box office at fifteen.[41] The film holds the record as the highest grossing film that opened on fewer than 100 theaters, and holds the record for the highest grossing average per screen for films shown in fewer than 50 theaters.[42] Brandon Grey, of Box Office Mojo described Precious as having had a "robust expansion" in its second week of release, and confirmed that the film holds the record for having the second-highest grossing weekend for a movie playing at fewer than 200 sites, behind only Paranormal Activity, which was released several weeks earlier.[43] The film had grossed a total of $40,320,285 in over six weeks of being released.[1]

Reception

Critical reception

The film received mostly positive reviews from film critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 91% of 162 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 7.9 out of 10.[44] Among Rotten Tomatoes' "Top Critics", which consists of popular and notable critics from the top newspapers, websites, television and radio programs, the film holds an overall approval rating of 91%, based on a sample of 32 reviews.The site's general consensus is that "Precious is a grim yet ultimately triumphant film about abuse and inner-city life, largely bolstered by exceptional performances from its cast."[45] Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from film critics, has a rating score of 79 based on 35 reviews.[46] The film received mostly positive reviews from film critics. John Anderson, of Variety, said "to simply call it harrowing or unsparing doesn’t quite cut it" having felt that the film is "courageous and uncompromising, a shaken cocktail of debasement and elation, despair and hope."[47] Anderson cited Carey's performance as "pitch perfect" and Patton's role as Ms. Blu Rain as disarming."[47] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly, praised Carey's performance, describing it as having been "an authentically deglammed compassion" and praised the film for 'capturing' "how a lost girl rouses herself from the dead" and for Daniels' showing "unflinching courage as a filmmaker by going this deep into the pathologies that may still linger in the closets of some impoverished inner-city lives."[48] Gleiberman described the film as being a movie "that makes you think, 'There but for the grace of God go I.' [...] It's a potent and moving experience, because by the end you feel you've witnessed nothing less than the birth of a soul" and felt that the "final scene of revelation" between Sidibe and Mo'Niques characters was strong enough to be able to leave viewers "tearful, shaken, [and] dazed with pity and terror."[48]

Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times, praised Mo'Nique and Sidibe's performances.[49] Ebert described Mo'Nique's performance as being "frighteningly convincing" and felt that "the film is a tribute to Sidibe's ability to engage our empathy" because she "completely creates the Precious character." He noted that Carey and Patton "are equal with Sidibe in screen impact".[49] Ebert praised Daniels because rather than casting the actors for their names, "he was able to see beneath the surface and trust that they had within the emotional resources to play these women, and he was right."[49] Betsey Sharkey, of the Los Angeles Times describes the film as being a "rough-cut diamond... [A] rare blend of pure entertainment and dark social commentary, it is a shockingly raw, surprisingly irreverent and absolutely unforgettable story."[50] Claudia Puig, of USA Today says that while there are "melodramatic moments" in the film, the cast gives "remarkable performances" to show the audiences the film's "inspiring message."[51] Peter Travers, of RollingStone called Mo'Nique "dynamite", a performance that "tears at your heart."[52]

Mary Pols, of Time praised the film's sequences for being able to show the audience a "joyous Wizard of Oz energy" that is able to "open the door into Precious' mind in a way even [the author] Sapphire couldn't."[53] Pols felt that, while not implying that the film has "a lack of compelling emotional material" but that the film's "few weak moments" are the "ones that dovetail with typical inspirational stories."[53] Marshall Fine, of Huffington Post, referred to the film as being "almost a deal-breaker for many filmgoers".[54] Fine praised the film as being "a film that doesn't shy away from the depths to which human beings can sink, but it also shows the strength and resilience of which we are capable, even at our lowest moments."[54] Scott Mendelson, also of the Huffington Post, felt that when you put the "glaring issues aside," the film "still works as a potent character study and a glimpse inside a world we'd rather pretend does not exist in America." But while the film "succeeds as a powerful acting treat and a potent character study, there are some major narrative issues that prevent the film from being an accidental masterpiece."[55] Mendelson described the film as being "an acting powerhouse" based on its many emotional themes.[55]

The film has received negative feedback. In two separate articles, The New York Times cited Armond White, critic for The New York Press as initiating the most powerful negative review. White compared the film to The Birth of A Nation as "demeaning the idea of black American life" and as the "con job of the year." Courtland Milloy, of The Washington Post said Precious was "a film of prurient interest that has about as much redeeming social value as a porn flick."[56] David Edelstein, of New York Magazine, stated that while the film has "elements" that are "powerful and shocking", he felt the movie was "programmed" and that the film had "its own study guide."[57] Keith Uhlich, of Time Out New York, felt that the film did not live-up to its "long hype", and felt that it was "bewildering" to discover the film's praise at the Sundance Film Festival because Uhlich characterized the film as having "shrug-worthiness."[58] Dana Stevens of Slate felt that the film's "eagerness" to "drag" the audience "through the lower depths of human experience" leaves the audience with no space to be able to come to their own "conclusions."[59] Stevens noted that while the film is about improvement and self-actualization, "it wields an awfully large cudgel."[59]

Awards and nominations

The film has been nominated in categories ranging from the performance of the cast to the film's direction to the film itself. Daniels won the People's Choice Award, an award given by audience members at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival for his directing for the film.[60][61 ][62] The film was a 2008 nominee in the Golden Trailer Awards in the category of "Best Trailer".[2][3][4] The cast and crew won all three of their three nominations at the Sundance Film Festival,[63] Daniels was the recipient of the "Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic," and the Audience Award.
