Where to Watch Precious
- katietaylor45April 6, 2026Slow plot but very good acting gives a realistic account of how life for some people is
- 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.
