I thought this movie had great acting, by all characters, but was incredibly sad and traumatizing. I left me feeling depressed, and almost hopeless with what goes on in the world. I also thought it perpetuated many common stereotypes that exist.
A Must See! really sad, compelling and truly unimaginable story that a child was treated this way by her parents, it's good her story is out. Definitely going to buy the book.
The girl that played Precious was awsome beyond words. I cried at everything she acted out and was magnificant at everything she did!!! It caused me to have more compassion & love for the African American People. I wanted to hug every african person I saw. It changed me. It's a life changing MOVIE!!!!!! Thank you GABOUREY SIDIBE you did an awsome job, I hope to see you in more movies!!!!! from Karen Austin in Minnesota
Wow. A must see. Oscar will be calling.
This movie was absolutely heart breaking, but also a very strong, inspirational and motivated one. It's the type of movie that you want to watch and don't want to at the same time because it's absolutely amazing but also very intense, painful and traumatic. I watched it in theatres not knowing what it was about and was blown away by the acting, but especially the story line. There are so many important life morals involved and I think this is a movie that definately will receive recognition. Everyone should watch this movie. It will open your eyes to a lot about what goes on in the world.
