The review in the New York times gives a run down of the movie. It reveals the true meaning of the literary work. It starts off by explaining the plot and it has little to no criticisms. The author of the review, A. O. Scott is complimenting the movie and how its produced. The movie consists of many famous actors and vocalists. Hes goes on talking about how there are no men in the movie, well little to none. There are only flashbacks of Precious' father, her dream guy and her doctor at the end. It isn't sure to what relation Precious has to her doctor at the end of the movie and if she had an attraction to him or not. At the end of the review the critic states "Precious” is, in any case, less the examination of a social problem than the illumination of an individual’s painful and partial self-realization. Inarticulate and emotionally shut down, her massive body at once a prison and a hiding place, Precious is also perceptive and shrewd, possessed of talents visible only to those who bother to look. At its plainest and most persuasive, her story is that of a writer discovering a voice."
