I loved this movie. As a social worker in an urban inner city community, sadly I see these issues everyday. This movie had to get out for all of the Precious children, female and male, everywhere. The movie was wonderful at bringing out all of the psychosocial-cultural issues that Precious had to deal with. Also, it should put a fire under all of us to lend a helping hand to someone, no matter what they look like or their socioeconomic status is.
