Film Summary
A luckless, pregnant 16-year-old (Gabourey Sidibe), living in Harlem with her abusive mother (Mo’Nique), finds a chance to escape her miserable circumstances through a literacy workshop led by a sympathetic teacher (Paula Patton). Lee Daniels’s film was the audience award winner at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. With Mariah Carey.

“Risky, remarkable...Ms. Sidibe, perhaps the least-known member of this movie’s unusual cast, is also the glue that holds it together. Nimble and self-assured as Mr. Daniels’s direction may be, he could not make you believe in Precious unless you were able to believe in Precious herself. You will.” (A.O. Scott, New York Times)
