When Monique said “I did what my mama told me I was supposed to do with my child” at 4:22 that spoke in volumes. A lot of times in these circumstances such as abuse, it’s a cycle that’s passed down; which is why it’s so hard to break. It’s not at all excusable, but it gives you insight into why certain things occurred. I’ve seen it (not to this extreme) happen where unhealthy cycles are passed down throughout generations and I admire people that break them because it is not easy.

This scene has such brilliant writing. Monique's character rambles on and on about such inconsequential things, but in a way that makes it clear she thinks she's getting to a point, even though you know she's just stalling. Like describing the pillow she laid Precious on in bed, or the random way she tries to explain that Precious was born in the summer, even though she can't even name which month and Precious has to correct her and it's a whole different time of year. The way she looks at Precious and says "You remember?" when she's talking about her birth... how would a child remember her birth? And then her description of the abuse is so horrifying. "She didn't scream or nothing." She was a /child/. Insane acting, insane writing.

The mental challenge to occupy and play these characters to this depth and filth is truly astonishing and is a testament to all 3 actors. The bar they set is too high. Meryl WISHED she could reach those heights. Mariah needs to do more serious roles. Monique and Gabourey should be doing more films also.

And Mary's cause she didn't stop it.

[@Rocketboyreef]

It's actually the mother's for letting Precious's father to rape her.

[@Julianabaus]

I never watched the whole scene. I always paused in the middle. I can't watch this video. It is too much for me. When ever I hear a child been sexual abused I die a little more inside. It is the absolutely most horrible and scariest thing in this world for me. For a long time I didn't want to believe that there are women like her who would do this to their own child!

[@qsings8674]

Juliana Marcelino Baus understandable

[@aidacailar1126]

Agree. To sexually abuse an infant is probably the most abhorrent crime a human can commit. Movies like this one makes us face that uncomfortable reality.

[@andrewcarson6925]

I was raped and molested by my step dad

[@childofthemosthighyah8145]

It's sad, it's ppl on KZbin that talks about molesting a child should be legal if they consent!!! I swear it's some sick mfkers in this world!!! I swear if anybody ever hurt my children in any kind of way. Their mother will be buying that black dress!!! And I'll do my bid with a smile on my face

[@ahhwe-any7434]

I think I'm just dead. I'd listen to her & show no emotion. She "had a baby, & a man. Had to take care of both of them." That's sounds like you had two children... One was actually her child. Get rid of the other. And just ew. I've seen comments on yt about ppl having sex beside a baby. IDC if the baby doesn't know, I'd know. How do ppl even stay in the mood w/ innocence beside them? That's all kinds of wrong.

Monique is a beast with the acting skills. She definitely earned that Oscar

[@entertain7us148]

if you're not willing to be tortured and killed to protect your child from abuse, then you have no right to be a mother.

I knew immediately, altho i've never heard her talk, just sing, carey has been a favorite of mine for years, man they really had to tone down her beauty or else the focus would be on her...

[@BbyLove1463]

This was such an underrated movie. The acting all around was absolutely heartbreaking and phenomenal. Breaks my heart every time

[@ajjohnson5046]

I didn’t even recognize Mariah Carey in this scene...

[@otakudreadhead3149]

Thats what i said lmao

[@Blaisefiyah]

Aisha Muhammad mental illness 😔

[@that_goth_bitch3899]

The writers are trying to showcase how that character's mental health had deteriorated. There was a reason for why she was acting all erratic and wasn't making a whole lot of sense.

[@toddadams8420]

Saw this in the theater with my girlfriend at the time...when it ended we walked out the theater and sat down in the parking lot. We didn't say a word to each other for 10 minutes

[@latinguy67]

damn that's deep

I went to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland but it was sold out, I saw this instead and I remember myself returning home crying in a lot of pain.

[@yellowsubmarine3725]

It was the same way with Tyler Perry's TEMPTATION - I and my then bf, it was dead silence, plus 10 minutes in, before starting the ignition, it was like we had been in a very sudden and horrific car crash , dazed and confused he asked if I would inform or warn him before cheating and having sex with other people , he made me promise , I stunned replied that I would , we drove away from the theatre SHOOK .

[@Santiago_Apollo]

... My Scorpio child... You gotta watch 'em... Both looking at Precious 😂😂😂
