Precious
Watching Precious is emotionally gruelling. This isn't a date movie or a Friday-night escapist flick. But it does that rare thing: introducing a character whose journey is hard but whose victories are small. Director Lee Daniels finds a compelling poetry in hyperrealistic close-ups, jump-cuts and R&B musical montages, although I was unimpressed by the heavy-handed fantasy sequences.

About
FiveThousand is a subcultural guide to Adelaide, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Adelaide writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FiveThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
