   Does Precious show promise?

   • After Precious is raped by her father, her mother, is angry not at the man, but at the child for "stealing" him. There's one element in the film that redeems this landscape of despair. That element is hope. Not the hope of Precious, but that of two women who want better for her. It's not that Precious "shows promise."
