Preciousness!

Right, so in the excitement for the new year we spent some quality office time youtubing new trailers, and I came accross this little gem below! Can't believe I've been so out of the news-loop I almost missed this!
.
'Precious', from director Lee Daniels and based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire (screenplay by Geoffrey Fletcher), follows an overweight and illiterate teen who's knocked up with her second child (by daddy dearest no less). The trailer shows Precious (played by Gabby Sidibe, newcomer on the acting scene but with an academy nomination gleam in her eye already) trying to find her way in the world, and find some love for herself and her baby. And it's just a little bit heartbreaking!
.
Oh, and try to ignore 'Oprah Winfrey' and 'Mariah Carey' flashing accross the screen though, if it makes you feel better.
.
Have a look, bound to be a big teary-eyed hit (even if it might not gross out that big, predictions still have it leaving a heavy mark on the radar).
