Precious



























Hard to swallow.

4/5 Stars

Mo'nique - Her awards say enough
Gabourey Sidibe - Great, couldn't been better

As dark and real as this film was, I thought it was very well put together. It's not one that is going to cheer you up and make you feel good, but I have been itching to see it again. It's raw scenes are hard to sit through, but that tells you they are getting their point across. There are a few glimpses of hope and humor. We are truly blessed as a people.

Pretty extreme profanity and explicit scenes. I initially wish this film did without that, but it wouldn't be the film it was written to become...

Acting: Superb for the difficulty of the script
Writing: Harsh, but picks you back up
Cinematography: Real
Story Line: Hard to swallow, but necessary to understand

The reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the story could have been fuller and there could have been a wider arrange of characters... and more highs (but they didn't want that)...

Don't have to see it, but won't forget it.
