Precious Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooDecember 29, 2025Not an easy watch but some top tier performances and creative daydream sequences. Mo’Nique crushes a tough role. Love Patton and Carey.
- SpanktacularFebruary 19, 2025Requiem-for-a-Dream-era pain.
- Nicholas FlorioNovember 29, 2025What an amazing performance by Monique. This is a good movie but I can honestly say I couldn't think of sadder circumstances to put together than what they portrayed in this movie. It puts it into context even further when you look at the time period this movie is set in. This movie is worth all 5 stars I gave it, and more.
- The Gutter MonkeyNovember 19, 2025A heavy story with a lot of weight to it.
