Several reviewers have criticized this movie as manipulative. If a director or a screenwriter's work causes an emotional reaction, can't any such movie be considered manipulative. If this had been a documentary, would you have embraced it because the facts would speak for themselves. It would seem that we should only have movies about sunshine and light when it comes to people who were born into poverty. We should have a happy ending but not show the sad facts leading up to it. I found the portrayal devastating. I found the performances to be outstanding, upsetting as they were. This is no movie for children or the faint of heart. Nevertheless, those who have the open-mindedness to look at the depth of this film should see it. Movies may have themes and ideas, but agendas? I'm not so sure.

Precious is a film that doesn't mess around. The passion of director Lee Daniels and company resonates throughout the picture. There is no better example of casting. Geoffrey Fletcher and Mo'Nique couldn't be more deserving of their Oscars. The writing and acting make for an altogether captivating experience. Paula Patton's great as Ms. Rain. I've respected Mariah Carey's ability to crossover into acting since WiseGirls. Gabourey Sidibe is heaven-sent as Precious.I find it difficult to watch in parts, given how physically repellent Precious and her mother are. Be that as it may, it is a compelling story of a girl finding strength and purpose in an abjectly miserable life. For those who may think her troubles are laid on too thick, life is as bad and worse for some.

This movie is the strongest and most serious movie I've ever watched. A young woman, a main character, has so many problems that I can't help covering my eyes with my hands. After watching it, we have to think about these problems like home problem or individual problem, race, skin color, and so on. There are actually a lot of people like her in the world. They're supposed to suffer, but they also must know there are some people supporting them around them. Not only them. Everyone in the world has to realize that we are living with each other's support. And a child can't choose his/her parents. I deeply think over that.
