Gabourey Sidibe switches into evening wear in “Tower Heist”
I’ve never felt more powerful. And I’m strong. And I’m amazing. And I know that.
— Gabourey Sidibe (via obsessionfull)
And Gabourey Sidibe, the striking plus-size Oscar-nominated star of Precious, makes her Hollywood leap as a feisty Jamaican chambermaid who gets in on the heist action. (The girl’s got mad safecracking skills.) I don’t know why Ratner and cinematographer Dante Spinotti felt compelled to push the camera in close, as if gawking at Sidibe’s dramatic coloring and size. But then, I also don’t know why she wasn’t used more: Murphy never looks more alive and excited by a fellow actor — challenged to peak performance — than during ribald, flirtatious banter with Sidibe’s self-possessed working girl.

Lisa Schwarzbaum’s review of Tower Heist in Entertainment Weekly.
UMMMMM, I’M COMPLETELY PISSED ABOUT THIS? You can’t mention my gurl Gabby Sidibe and how great she is without also mentioning how fat and dark-skinned she is? The men in this review are described as “honorable”, “shady”, “fretful nebbish”, “uncouth”, “unreliable”, etc. Their personalities are noticed! And their appearances are not mentioned at all! Meanwhile, Tea Leoni walks in and she’s “cute” and Gabourey Sidibe walks in and she’s fat and dark. Good Lord.

Gabourey Sidibe is my hero!
