So this was a pretty intense experience. I would suggest you watch this movie only if you are in the dramatic story mood because "Precious" is one of the saddest movie I've seen in my life. It ends with a positive light about life and living, still you have to go through a pretty long list of bad, dramatic things before reaching the ending.

Harlem, 1987. This is the story of Precious, a 16 years old girl who is already a mother and a mother-to-be for the second time in her life. She cannot read or write, so she is sent to this special school that will change her life thanks to the helpful people she meets there. "Precious" is a movie about hope. No matter how much your life sucks, no matter how bad your situation might be: you can still work out a way to rise two children and go to college if that's what you want. You just have to believe in yourself.

The pain you feel at the ending is so strong you won't even find the strenght to end up crying. Great story. Really touching. Absolutely recommended.
