Based off of the powerful novel, Precious is an illiterate fifteen year old girl who is pregnant with her father's second child. Her abusive mother leads her to believe that she is worthless, her situation leads her to believe that she is without value, and her image leads her to believe that she will never be precious. When an enigmatic alternative professor teaches her to write and to love, Precious realizes that the most powerful message is the one she gives herself.

To Precious Girls Everywhere

I absolutely adored this film, in the deepest parts of me, I believed Gabourey Sidibe's powerful performance, and Mo'Nique (I can't believe I'm saying this) proves that she is a force to be reckoned with in the acting world. The messages within this film extend to every fiber, every bit of soul that we have, leaving its shattering remarks in scars acros my heart. I believed every minute of this film, even the parts that were not so believable. Powerfully performed, grittily written, and devilishly directed, "Precious" is a wonderful film that everyone should see.

Powerful

A gritty and strongly acted drama revolving around Precious, a teenager sexually abused by her father, verbally and physically abused by her mother, and struggling to figure out who she is. There are some really disturbing scenes and lines, but the movie holds no punches in its portrayal of its tragic heroine. It's not easy to watch, but it challenges you as a viewer to be handle its difficult subject matter.

Standard but well made

There are not any surprises really in this movie about a Harlem teen faces the troubles. It's story I felt was rather standard and the big differences in the film were the directorial flares that sometimes seemed proper for a scene but I felt other ones seemed to be there just to be there. It is well acted, and shot but the story has nothing that cannot be seen other places. It is probably better done than other similar films but I knew where it was going to go the whole time.
