Has anyone seen the movie, Precious yet?

Because there is a ridiculous 10 nominations and it has been a weak year for quality films. Also, this is a typical Academy film--a movie with issues that have spurred conversation.

That being said, I have absolutely ZERO desire to see this film and will not even netflix it next year.

My favorite user is not interested in the movie but I'd argue it's not intended to be an Academy type of film, I think the intent came in once Oprah & Tyler Perry got involved. In addition to the material, from those 2 minutes it seems like the film will have a cool visual style, like for one example that shot of the TV coming down was really cool from a film-making perspective. I won't be able to fully judge the movie until I see it and I hope it's a great film.
