Precious has had all the hard knocks in life... and then some. This is one emotionally wrenching film that does not shy from showing the awful circumstances of it's title character. Gabourey is perfectly cast in the role, giving complete believability to a girl stuck in this terrible home life. Her ability to not let her mother break her is the drive for which we want to see her overcome this hardship. Mo'Nique is excellent as the mother. She brings depth to a character that could've easily been made out to be a cold villainous type.
