I did in fact notice it had quit a bit of language and adult content. Otherwise, A great drama for mature older teens.. This title contains: Sexy stuff. Adult Written by urmomantha September 17, Powerful I'm 19 and I thought this movie was, well, I'd heard a lot about it but knew I wasn't ready to see something like this until now.
It's a very, sad and dramatic film and story. But as you watch this movie, you get to see how Precious progresses. It's a beautiful movie, but it's sad and disturbing.
The saddest thing is to know that people actually go through this. Beautiful film, all the actors did an incredible job, but not for young teenagers or immature older teenagers. It's rated R for a reason. Parent of a 10 and year-old Written by david. Not a Happy Movie-Tread Slowly. Precious is an obese, impoverished, illiterate, teenager pregnant for the second time with one of her father's babies. Her mother is extremely abusive, unsupportive, and unstable. So why do I think some 14 year olds can watch it?
Because it offers a window into the poorest part of society. People who don't only lack money but also knowledge, nutrition, and support. There are a few good roll models- Precious' classmates, teacher one of the first supporters in Precious' life , and the social worker who appears to care about Precious situation. The movie does not have a happy ending. Each kid is different. For some this movie will be inspirational, for some it will be depressing- use your judgement after watching the trailer.

Adult Written by yoyolili June 5, I think that this movie has to be seen by kids that are mature enough so they can understand the content of this movie. Positive Messages. Positive role models. Parent of a 3-year-old Written by izzymommy May 13, This movie was WAY too intense for anyone under 18!
I'm 29 and it was difficult for me to watch this movie. I must say though, that it was all content-related, because I could just not stop watching it! There are some huge positives of watching this movie, as it can open a window to talking about abuse, molestation, rape, drugs, teen pregnancy and the importance of staying in school. However, this movie is just SO graphic, intense, explicit and filled with mature subject matter that I couldn't recommend anyone under 18 to see it.
