Critic Reviews of "Precious"
NewsdayApril 04, 2011The remarkable Sidibe is one of several daring casting choices by director Lee Daniels.
Rolling StoneFebruary 02, 2011Precious is an emotional powerhouse, a triumph of bruising humor and bracing hope that deserves its place among the year's best films.
Time OutFebruary 02, 2010A film full of life and love, well-meaning and, judging by the reaction in the US, a genuine and important phenomenon that says act - don't dwell - on your dreams.
Boston GlobeNovember 24, 2009Avoiding the conventional tricks of lifting an audience up, the movie looks into this girl's wide, brown face and her bleak little life and sees, despite everything, a reason to live.
Detroit NewsNovember 20, 2009If you do watch -- and you certainly should -- you will see one of the most remarkable performances ever set to film, given by Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe.
Christian Science MonitorNovember 20, 2009It melodramatizes everything and yet its overall effect is something more than melodrama.
Critic's NotebookOctober 07, 2015It's amazing how the film turns out to be infinitely moving in spite of Mr. Daniels's stylistic self-destruct.
Projection BoothFebruary 03, 2013Its flaws are more so of the executional than the conceptual kind, the whole more than the sum of its parts.
Time Out ChicagoApril 03, 2012The bottom line is that you've never seen anything quite like this -- in its highs, its lows, its gaffes, its embarrassments or its uplift.
DVDTalk.comApril 04, 2011It is a classical tragedy in the Greek sense, and runs its characters (and viewers) through a wringer of pity and terror on the way to its devastating catharsis.
Georgia StraightApril 04, 2011It's a deeply heart-busting story about finding self-realization.
Sacramento News & ReviewApril 04, 2011Sidibe's Susan Boyle moment of misdirected public pity notwithstanding, hers is a rare and welcome presence in American independent film.
