Drama
5 stars
Powerful movie about a severely abused teen growing up in Harlem. Outstanding acting by Mo’Nique as the abusive mother, Gabourey Sidibe as the unfortunate teen, Precious, and Paula Patton as a caring teacher. Some scenes are hard to watch, but surprisingly there are a few laughs as well. The title character does dream of being a famous celebrity and I thought the dream sequences were a bit much, but other than that I can only sing praises for this film. Even Mariah Carey was good. Excellent movie, just go see it for yourself.
