"Get your as on down to the welfare!" It's just amazing how ALL the actors and roles in this film are so great. Every single one of them. You may have heard about Mo'Nique's performance. She was totally awesome as the bad ass mom. You just want to kill that bitch. And you may have heard about Gabourey Sidibe, the lead who plays Precious. She is a no name, non-actor plucked off the street when she cut her college classes to do an audition. She seems to have something of a parallel background to her character, but not nearly as traumatic or hurtful, I'm sure. She lived in Harlem too where the movie is set.
But what really blew me away was Mariah Carey, who played a social worker. She just sits there listening to Precious, listening and listening and hardly ever saying anything except with her piercing eyes. I love it when people under play roles like that. It's so powerful.
