Description

"Precious" Jones (Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe) is a high-school girl with nothing working in her favor. She is pregnant with her father's child - for the second time. She can't read or write, and her schoolmates tease her for being fat. Her home life is a horror, ruled by a mother (Mo'Nique) who keeps her imprisoned both emotionally and physically. Precious's instincts tell her one thing: if she's ever going to break from the chains of ignorance, she will have to dig deeply into her own resources.

    I noticed time & time again this movie denigrating Brown people, It The Caribbean girl who kept getting treated like strait trash i just see this going on too much in this White & black foreign colony Black Following in the foot steps of their masters & Castigating Native brown people of this continent, This is our homeland yet foreigners like africans & euros even asian always discrediting us & Pushing their foreign narratives upon us were not asian were not african & we are not white, We are our own people & this film deems to harm us just as white have done for the past 532 years & counting, Its a shame i can’t return this.

    Omg. This movie. I can’t. I cried so hard. Not afraid to admit I was a H😭O😭T M😭E😭S😭S the whole time. Such a touching & sadly relevant story. The actors were too good & legit perfect. I send my condolences if ANYONE had to go through what this little girl did. Such a phenomenal, painful, beautiful movie. A definite watch.

    I am so sick of hearing about underprivileged African-Americans wining about how hard their lives are. We can't seem to get rid of Tyler Perry, and all these types of movies are made just make caucasians feel bad for African Americans. All these movies just seem to be passive aggressive jabs about caucasians. By the way, the lead actress' career is finished. There just isn't any room for ugly, overweight, African Americans in movies. They're not pleasing to the eye.

    This movie is as depressing as Birdman. If you like movies where only bad things happen to the main character without any reason until she dies go ahead. It would help you to understand that your time is Precious and you should not waste it on this.
