Powerful, powerful and oh, so gripping
By Benhuczek (145 reviews) from London , 03 Jan 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
I started watching this film with only half an eye and ear as to be honest, I had difficulty understanding the mix of Harlem accents. However, slowly this film draws you in and finally demands you give it all your attention even though you are feeling decidedly uncomfortable.
In old money, the closest I can offer you is the bleakness and brilliance of Cathy Come Home.
Bang this right onto your rental list.- Was this review helpful to you?

Everyone should see this film
By a customer , 28 Mar 2013Everyone should see this film. It is shocking, upsetting and real. Some brilliant acting. Ultimately a message of hope as Precious forges her own path.- Was this review helpful to you?

A Rough Diamond!
By Kikero (6 reviews) , 08 Mar 2013Takes about an hour or so to get going (amidst a lot of shouting and swearing). But the second half is amazing and very moving. Strangely upbeat despite the heavy subject matter of child abuse.- Was this review helpful to you?

Watchable average film.
By Bobsview (559 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 28 Feb 2013Shocking , hard hitting, story about an obese black American girl who is repeatedly raped by her father and has two children by him. Her mother treats her cruelly and as a slave. She is taken under the wing of her teacher and eventually and very slowly escapes the misery and cruelty of her home. The film is sobering and humbling , but has an annoying ‘fly on the wall’ reality show camera style. Also the dialogue is mumbled and often hard to decipher.- Was this review helpful to you?
