Precious' life has not been all that compromising. She turns away from other people out fear, not misanthropy. She is quite introverted with people in her lives. She's not very strong in terms of literacy, To see she walks around with this pain surrounding her would be the ultimate understatement. In addition, she she has a child due to rape, she's morbidly obese, her clothes don't fit through the bulk that she carries. Going to school is like walking into a snake-pit in which the venom inflicted upon her stems from the verbal abuse drawn from her peers. If the poison injected from her classmates was hard to bear, home isn't any better, in fact it's a lot worst. Her mother who has given up on home seems to take the leasure of making Precious' living a real nightmare. Precious was badly raped by her own father, but by contrary, her mother isn't ticked off by her bastard husband, she blames her daughter for allegedly "stealing " him. Like a hard candy with a creamy centre, "Precious" might make you very uncomfortable while watching it, but underneath every hardship, there is one element that saves this film from perpetual lament., the message that if we work hard enough, we can pull through all obstacles in our way. Though we want Precious to pull through in the end, the signal of hope comes from the two women in her lives who can provide for her the quest for her to strive through and become a better,more confident person who is in desperate need to be rectified."Precious" is a truly great American film that reflects issues that sparks realism in every dark corner backed by characters that are both easy to grasp at because these are the same people we've experienced in our lives before. Their names and physical identity might be different, but can be easy to relate to. Even by scrounging through the rough patches this movie endures, at the end it turns out to have an underrated moment of feel-good vibrations that will linger on even as the end credits roll. Gabourey Sidibe in her debut film isn't just acting this role as Precious, she's actually living the character.Sidibe really gives everything we need to now about this heartbroken soul through heart,soul and heartbreak. It's hard being an outcast, and Sidibe was just flawless. Sidibe isn't alone in this painful journey. Mo'Nique in an Oscar-winning performance was spot-on as a cruel, chain-smoking loveless mother who treats Precious like a free servant while oblivious to many years of hardcore abuse. Paula Patton was breath-taking as Ms. Rain, an instructor who could see a bright light masquerading within the inner reaches of Precious' mind. In a surprise turn, singer Mariah Carey is also very good as social worker Ms. Weiss.Sure it may have cynical overtones within Geoffrey Fetcher's script, reflecting back in the old days of Hollywood as performers had to play off character roles. Under the helm of Lee Daniels, the film lacked in star quality to give the atmosphere a more real look without the glitz and glamour. By way of reverse, Daniels demanded his cast to act and to capture the emotions and hardships they had to endure and everything had to look ad feel as real as possible. It worked as he did wonder when he produced "Monster's Ball" and led Halle Berry to perform with a emotional grip which led her to an Academy Award. His method must have a lingering impact on his stars.Carey and Patton can provide great depth to their performances which are equally on the same length as Sidibe's role. After all, why would an instructor and a social worker go through tumultuous lengths to save this fat, social outcast and to show her she's special and that her future is right.? My guess is they've seen it all and there are a myriad of other people walking in the same direction as Precious.Though she may hit viewers in the wrong direction with her staggering verbal quips towards her daughter, it's wrong to classify Mary as an evil person, her venomous cruelty stems from her self-anger to which she lays upon her daughter. Mo'Nique is quite convincing in her role.Though naysayers might have the negative belief that this performance could be manipulative, Sidibe embodies the duration of the move to yearn for our sympathy. Her work in her debut is very curious in that is shows that her fewer words and actions can generate in ways that tug at the strings of the heart. Her role is so natural you hardly know she's even acting.Though she's a decade older than the role she plays, you still could find it hard to believe. She never actually lived the hardship of Precious, but Sidibe has given this character a lease of life's lessons and that we learn about her and the way to make us understand more about what it's like to be human an that we're all different, but we are all the same as we must endure life day to day through the good and the bad. After the film ends we must all give Precious a big hug.

Precious is one of those movies that is so concerned with making a big political statement that it forgets to be a good movie. Everything in the execution department with this film screams incompatancy. There were moments when watching were I was genuinely confused as to why they did what they did. Honestly I am stunned by how people like this film. 3/10

The story is about a black girl who is sixteen years old and abuse. She lives in severe environment because the film focus on poor classes in the New York. She is was sexually and physically harassed by her mother and her father-in-law. In addition, she gets pregnant with him. However, she meets a woman teacher and she finds out her own wishes. In the end, the girl and mother tries to compromise.The film has dialogue and colors. The genre of this movie is drama. It is cruel to describe the scene of child abuse. However, that is why it is easy to empathize with the girl of a story. Though I hasn't gone through as the main character, the film will give wishes for audiences. In addition, I have to thank my environment.

This was one of the most disgusting movies I have ever watched to date. Although I will admit that the acting was superb I can not bring myself to give this movie a 10 because the story was so disgusting. Sidibe was molested by her father as a baby while her mother watched. She was also molested by her mother. Sidibe would later go on to be impregnated with her daughter/sister by her father. Sidibe was also beaten on a regular basis, lived in squalor and stole Fried Chicken from a local hole in the wall. When she was running down the street eating fried chicken, I died with laughter. I give high accolades for the acting to Kravitz, Cary, Paula and Monique. Avoid this movie at all cost. Also I'm beyond sick of all this political correctness surrounding weight. If you're fat as hell; then it is NOT healthy, end of story. If you are OBESE like Sidibe; then you probably have problems breathing, walking and digesting food not to mention the high chance of having heart problems, bad knees and diabetes. Fat is Wack and I don't care what Sports Illustrated Says. As our country becomes Fatter of course the movies, magazines, clothing companies and etcetera need to adhere to what is in demand and for who is demanding a product.Oh yeah, Sidibe's first child by her father had Down Syndrome. Great Story....
