This is a movie that will make you want to hide your face from the ugly truth. There are young boys and girls who are living in an unloving household and have very little options to get out of their living nightmare. Precious is a movie that exploits the worst of the worst, Every now and then it is ok to be reminded about what is wrong with the world so we can be motivated to make a change.
The movie was good but could have been better. The acting was great and the cast selection was equally great. The topics disucssed were those of every day life but the storyline just didn't nail it all. What was missing was more background information about the characters to help the audience understand where they are in life. Overall I would give it a B-
