This film hit me hard when Precious talks about being, "Here." I knew what the meant because, I too experienced escaping from the reality of my own past as it happened. She was finally comfortable in the present when she felt safe. Also, I found it interesting that, although, the father's incest was clearly portrayed, the mother's incest scene was kind of vague as if mothers having sex with their kid is more of a taboo. I would only recommend this film if someone needed to understand the reality of child abuses. I would not recommend this film to someone seeking to be entertained. This is not entertainment for enjoyment although there are a few lighthearted scenes, which are meant to make the audience like and connect with the characters.
