New York Times - A.O. Scott | Screenrush Barometer:  |
| 'avoid the traps of well-meaning, preachy lower-depths realism. It howls and stammers, but it also sings.' |
| New Yorker - Anthony Lane | Screenrush Barometer: |
| 'What rescues "Precious" is the performance of Mo'Nique as Mary, the heroine's Medusa-like mother. Given her range of leisure interests?smoking, cursing, channel surfing, baby tossing, munching pigs' feet, and throwing televisions down the stairs?there is no reason that the character should be more than a vicious cartoon. But Mo'Nique...closes the proceedings with a monologue of selfishness so storm-driven that for a second, despite ourselves, we are almost swept away.' |
