The songs on the soundtrack effectively capture this groundbreaking film's powerful, universal message about the human capacity to grow and overcome. Set in 1987, PRECIOUS tells the story of Harlem teenager Claireece "Precious" Jones, who overcomes tremendous obstacles to discover her own worth, beauty and potential. Precious' tale is perfectly complemented by this deeply moving collection of songs - songs that are the sound of Precious' resilient, questing spirit, which carries her through such intense struggle. Courage and determination, passionately expressed by Mary J. Blige, Jean Carn, Donna Allen and others, are touchstones of Precious' story and Daniels' film; ultimately the message will reverberate in listeners and audiences alike.
The film and its standout performances have already received a myriad of critical accolades and top prizes at major international film festivals. Breakout star Gabourey Sidibe was featured on the cover of a recent New York Times Magazine, and was touted as "beyond incredible" by Access Hollywood, who called the film "amazing...not to be missed." Time Magazine lauded it as "an unabashedly inspirational anthem." The Oscar(R) buzz is already in full swing, with predictions for nominations coming from the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Time Magazine, Elle Magazine, The New York Post and more.
PRECIOUS premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize, Audience Award and a Special Jury Prize for Acting. It has since screened at such prestigious venues as the Cannes International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival, and has won audience prizes at the Toronto International Film Festival, the San Sebastian Film Festival and the recently concluded Chicago International Film Festival. It is the only film ever to receive the Audience awards at both Sundance and Toronto.
