Perry’s great gift to this unfilmable play is getting it on the screen, his sharp eye for casting and his evident affection and sympathy for black womanhood, even in movies in which he doesn’t don a dress. -Orlando Sentinel

Perry weaves together not just the individual stories but their arcs, sustaining the emotional tenor across the progress of nine lives. -Movieline

The Mixed but favorable reviews in the media.

“Precious” worked partly because it did not wrap its sordid tale in Christian uplift and dime-store psychology — elements that have made Tyler Perry a rich filmmaker but have turned For Colored Girls shrill and manipulative. -New York Post

It’s hard to imagine that any self-respecting man would want to sit through two hours – let alone two minutes – of such caustic man-bashing. -Washington Post
