This movie feels too real. Depressing and heartbreaking, but I'd watch it again as it exposes you to the reality some people endure.
Absolutely gut-wrenching story, and beautifully acted. Everyone should see this movie at least once.
This movie broke me. The actors performances are amazing. I think everyone should give this a watch. for all the precious girls out there 💔
Gabourey Sidibe cemented Precious into our hearts. Definitely not something I’d watch again and again, but it’s a must see. Mo’Nique. 😳
Just so sad that this is some people's reality. This really opens your eyes.
This was really hard to watch but a necessary story/commentary. It broke my heart and it's unlikely I'd ever want to watch it again
One of the most shocking stories. The book is even darker.
This movie still lives in my mind rent free.its just a depressing vibe that lingers.
The most heartbreaking story... And it really happens in real life. I couldn't watch it again.
Very honest slice of life. Borderline horror film, but ultimately more sad than anything. Very moving film
