I knew this movie was going to good when i watched the preveiw on the Oprah show back in the summer. The acting was was superb!! It was "real" in depicting what really goes on right under our noses and we never know. Precious reminded me to step back and look at people, situations, and relationships with an open mind and selflessness.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was a very powerful movie. I made the decision to bring my daughters to watch this movie. A lot of times, we judge people without knowing their history or circumstances. The movie Precious makes you thankful, it makes you want to help others, and it makes you want to fight to achieve your goals and rise above it all.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Outstanding film, but would someone tell me what ignorant parents are doing taking small children to a movie like this? The epitome of selfishness is taking kids to a movie that may influence how they speak and how they act, not to mention being exposed to images they may never forget. The reason American society is crumbling is because of parents too stupid to realize that maybe a babysitter is worth the risk to your child's future.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

If you are looking to be entertained, go see The Blind Side. If you are looking for a real-life depiction of the hurdles that an adolescent black woman from the projects must overcome in order to escape from a horrible, hateful environment and break out of the cycle that perpetuates the socio-economic condition of her family - see this movie.This is emotionally intense film. The 3 main characters are exceptionally acted with little hint of their Hollywood persona being portrayed in their characters. If you believe in the positive power and influence that an adult can have in a child's life - see this, but understand that the negative influence and tragedy is depicted also.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

my adrenaline pumped most of the time. brilliant acting by all. I was perturbed by the laughing in the audience though... (?) Also, that there were very young children in the theatre (?) The profanity was shocking even to me, must have been traumatic to a small child.

Coming from Tyler Perry and Oprah, I really expected more, and something better. Too much bad language, could have left the molestation scene out (that was a given...understood...and spoken about in the movie...). I know this was to portray real life and what she went through and what she had to overcome, but it was depressing and too dark, and story could have been told and expressed thru the movie without all that, and would have been "eye-opening". It was depressing. I have heard similar comments from others that saw the movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Precious is smart, thought-evoking, and powerful story brought to life by it the director and cast. This is cinematic storytelling at is best. The director, Lee Daniels, doesn't waste the audience's time with gimmicky plot devises but takes us on an intimate journey of self-discovery and empowerment through the eyes of the protagonist. Daniels respect for the story, the actors and the audience is evident in his realistic, insightful, and unapologetic storytelling. His characterizations are compact and poignant. Even the movie’s most unsympathetic character’s quest for redemption receives the audiences’ undivided attention as we view the broken vessel unravel. This movie is for mature audiences because of its subject matter.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I thought the movie was very well-done. I especially liked the scenes throughout the story in which Precious mentally escapes. The acting was outstanding. I guess the reason I would not recommend it to a friend is because when I walked out of the theatre, I felt awful. I knew a little bit about the story but did not expect the movie to be so depressing. I wanted more of the upside of the story instead of the playing out the horror of her life.I don't know that it could have been done that way.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I loved this movie........I feel that this story was intense in every aspect. Some people can handle it and some can't over all I feel that this gives a inside feeling to those who don't realize that there are precious girls out there whether you want to believe it or not and we should help and understand these ladies. I guess I can take a step back when I see kids in high school with similar attitude as Precious-are they really like this or are they going through something? God Bless those young ladies.........the young lady that played Precious was OUTSTANDING!

This movie was just disappointing to me. It exemplified every black stereotype ever known to man. The big, fat, black, unattractive black woman that no one loves and no one will ever love. Two beautiful black woman who don't want a traditional lifestyle. That's fine, but even in her moment of normalcy, she still isn't seeing what a healthy man/woman relationship looks like. The black legacy "welfare!" The women in this movie only have one ambition and that's catching the mailman on check day. In reality, Precious would be a borderline Schitzophrenic/Psychopath.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This movie was very touching and extremely emotional. The young lady who played Precious was spectacular. She drew the audience into her story, and her cause. You spent the whole movie praying that her life changed. Mo'Nique was phenomenal. She definitely deserves an award for her performance. That part was written for her. Thirty minutes into the movie you forgot you were watching her. A must see movie.

I can only speak for about an hour into the movie since my husband and I left very early. I just can't believe Tyler Perry & Oprah put their name on this one. It was just...OUT THERE! There was no clear character development but if there was an award for how many times Mo'Nique can say the F word in a movie, oh give her the award.
Now I'm left with having to get the images out of my mind of Precious getting
r-a-p-e-d by her father (I presume, or at least her mother's man) and having her mother watch AND having to "please" her mother. Ridiculously sick mind of the author since this wasn't "based on actual events."
Not only did I waste my money, but thats an hour of my life I won't get back.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The movie concerns the huge life challenges faced by Precious, and it shows the significant progress she makes. However, I think it would have been far more effective if two or three challenges were introduced and then, over the course of the movie, fully overcome. That way there could have been a plot, complete with tension, instead of a 2-hour message that seemed to say "look how life sucks for this girl; let's watch as she tries to make things a little better, even though she experiences regular self-induced setbacks."
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The movie was great and the story line was exceptional educational for our youth. A real eye opener for people that did not think such abuse can be committed. However, after reading the book "Push" years ago, my expectations of the movie were highly over exaggerated and kind of disappointing as well. I must admit each actor/ess played their role exceptionally well. =) My advice see the movie 1st then read the book.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. I still can't get it out of my head days later. The cast was amazing and the story so well told. It's incredible how a person can come through so much and still find a reason to go on, and thrive. I thought the whole movie was great including the ending. I have a whole new respect for Mo'nique as well as Mariah Carey. I definately feel it was worth seeing and talking about.

This movie showed how many children are raised by parents with mental illness(mother)also the poverty involved, no male leadership , just no self -esteem building, no talk of GOD it's a wake-up call to ALL young people.Each generation depending on Govt. help WE need to break those CHAINS OF BONDAGE. Movie not for children they would not understand the dynamics.So young people open your eyes and ears!!!!!!!!!!Stop ABUSE NOW,Parents let's set the example

The movie should be a must for all teens. This movie is real life and needs to be a wake up call that life is not easy nor an entitlement to many of the luxuries that teens of today feel they deserve. This young woman's fight to survive the unimaginable should be an inspiration to all. So many teens today think they have it so rough--they need to see this movie. It is also my hope that many wil have the courage to speak out against the abuse that they may be enduring.

I won't try to explain it to you. Just go see it. I'm wondering why some are upset by the ending. I think the whole point is, despite the horror this girl suffered at home, that she has been given some sort of chance through her own determination and the commitment of others to make a difference in her life. What happens beyond the point of her inexhorably cutting all ties with her mother and striking out on her own, is up to her and the decisions she makes. Don't miss this movie.

This was a very good movie. It is not for the supersensitive person that cannot deal with the "bad" things of life. I read the book prior to seeing the movie. I think I should have seen the movie first and then read the book because I knew absolutely too much about what was going to happen. But then on the other hand by reading the book first I was very curious as to how some scenes would play out. I am happy to see this type of "in your face" movie because this type of abuse is real and has been going on for many many years! Definately not for children though.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
