Kenneth S. gave it a10: Mo’nique is fantastic as Precious’ abusive, raging mother, and Gabourey Sidibe is great at showing Precious’ emotion. There are many poignant, painful moments during the film, and even if, by the end of the film, you might feel exhausted, you’ll definitely feel moved.
Eggy G. gave it an8: This movie always throw surprise moments…just like real life. Solid performance from all casts…including very surprisingly Mariah Carey. This movie can be very depressing…just had to prepare the right mood or will get overwhelmed.
Tony B gave it a10: 2009’s best, as far as I’m concerned…not a missed beat or a false note anywhere…the performances are flawless.
Tanya G. gave it a10: Amazing movie! If you have ever been through similar in your life this movie is a must. This really shows the courage some women have to get out.
Lucas M. gave it a10: Flawless. Touching.
Syd R. gave it a9: Harsh reality. Very tough subject made interesting, sometimes funny, very tragic. Extremely well done! my husband thought it was interesting, but a drag.
zeke b gave it a3: Very bogus. everything bad that could happen happens to this poor blank-faced girl, until a lesbian fairy-godmother saves her, and an all girl crew from Welcome back Kotter cheers her into a life-affirming semi-happy ending. Phoney, but because it’s set in 1980’s Harlem, white critics are afraid to knock it. and since its been vetted by Oprah (who did so well with James Frey) its seen as ghetto-authentic. Ugh.
