This is actually difficult to explain, but "Precious" is a surpassingly fantastic movie.
It is also a difficult movie. I hated the first 1/2 hour - almost viscerally. This is a loser world; these are losers - LOSERS, and the "mom" - wow! She is the lowest ever. Almost everything about this whole world is breathtakingly bleak and repulsive and unfixable.
But this movie really does something fantastic - it takes your mind and carefully brings you into a deeper thicket of humanness. I don't even remember how it happened. But it really did and it is an unexpected and unusual surprise.
Oh, and if you know anyone who has any "mom" issues, this movie will touch that base.
(one final note - Mariah Carey has a role and she is perfect - blew me away; didn't know it was her until the credits.)
