4.5 stars. Oscar-worthy
This was an Okay movies. It had way too much profanity in it. Kids in no generation, especially in the project, would talk like that around their parents. Not that they would be able to hear it. I was told by several people that there was a lot of cussing and profanity in the movie, but I had no ideal it would be that much. The foul language really was not needed. My parent got their point across to us without all the profanity. I would not recommend that anyone under the age of 21 watch this movies. I was sorta disappointed.
You will pay a price for seeing this movie and I don’t mean the ticket. It is very brutal on your emotions, leaving you with a sense of hopelessness that this really does happen in our world. A wonderful movie that is painful to view but must be seen.
I absolutely loved this movie!!! The acting and the story was brilliant and would highly recommend it! Two thumbs up!!!
Excellent. I read the book first so I knew what to expect and I must say the movie stayed true to the book. The acting was so real. The story was so real. You won't forget the movie once you leave the theatre.
All I can say is WOW!!!the acting and story line are totally off the map. I have not been in a theatre in a long time where all the audience was hanging on every word no one made a noise.This movie blew my mind it made me realize how wonderful my mother is so Hugs to my mom!!!Mo'nique deserves an oscar for this role.
so sad but inspiring that this girl could dig out from the garbage and abuse of her life from people who were supposed to show her what love is
The realest movie ever!!
Mariah Carey's best since GLITTER.
This movie was exceptional! The acting was on point. Although the story was one that rocked you to the core, and left you thinking about it for days after, it was one that had to be told. Precious, can be found all over world, and hopefully this movie will not be viewed as an African American story, but a universal one that knows no creed or race.
