Everyone seems to have fallen into the trap of regarding this vicariously condescending freak show as some sort of soberingly honest social drama whereas it's just a series of strokes of fate, told in an apparently un-Hollywood like frankness and ugliness, but with the obvious Hollywood like slickness.
Despite all the human cruelty on display and some powerful individual scenes and performances, the characters remain just as superficial as Precious's colorful day-dream fantasies.
Yes, the movie's not as manipulative as others of its ilk, but its calculated do-good mentality leaves a distinct aftertaste in some of the more discriminating viewers's mouths.
Something about this pic just doesn't feel right.
