[A] shockingly beautiful film....This is a fine movie, and a deep one.
Wall Street Journal
3.5 stars out of 5 -- Sidibe's Precious is so startlingly truthful and so subtle she seems to have stepped out of documentary to make her appearance her. Totally believable performances are also turned in by both Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey...
Box Office
PRECIOUS works. Daniels and Fletcher don't spare the sorrow, but neither do they neglect moments of joy, hope, or belonging. -- Grade: B
A.V. Club
Included in Los Angeles Times's Best Films Of 2009 -- [The performances] are as fearless as they are fierce.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Precious is a big-screen "misery memoir" that is so keen to trace the hellish pathology of familial abuse that it risks glorifying its own subject, or at least shooting it with horror-movie verve.

Times (UK)
4 stars out of 4 -- [A] great American film....Sibide is heartbreaking as Precious...
Chicago Sun-Times
Nothing quite prepares you for the rough-cut diamond that is PRECIOUS....Shockingly raw, surprisingly irreverent and absolutely unforgettable...
Los Angeles Times
