This movie is very good. I would recommend everyone to read the book first to get a better understanding of the movie and some of the glossed over details. I hope movie viewers look at the postive nature of the movie and do not harp on the unfortunate incidents that occured to Prescious. The reality is that this is a taste of real life, Prescious may be a fictional character, but the events are ALL REAL. Let's leave this movie with more patience, love, and support for one another. Let us also be more vocal and active when we witness real life bad things. All this to say, a must see tasteful movie.
