      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      With an exploitative style that seems more suited for TV shows like CSI, Trade's message about the reality of child exploitation is easily lost.

      Laughing L This movie talks about a horrific subject that not enough people are spreading awareness on and that topic is Human Trafficking. I personally liked it, especially how the brother was doing his best to protect the sister, and going to extreme lengths to bring her back. I liked how they showed that not so good parts in the film, and the flas backs it just did something to me. My only problem is, I feel like its unrealistic/ not really as possible. If you know, you know. But anyways give it a try i promise you would either shed a tear or bawl your eyes out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Adis M Bad story that tries to entertain but is implausible, but the film has some surprises that make the story unimportant. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/21 Full Review Bernard K Great movie! If true, wow, you't think we're still living in the 17th century. I looked it up online, and up to 100,000 women a year are sold as sex slaves every year in the US. Amazing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/20 Full Review Audience Member This was a very sad movie but this movie had great actors Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/18 Full Review Audience Member This shows the perfect example of why it's never a good idea for women and children to be out in public or in big cities by themselves without protection and/or being fully aware of what's going on. Kevin (Kline) was amazing in this. I didn't think it would be that good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Good movie, pretty bad story...

      Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Anna Smith Metro Newspaper (UK) Heartfelt and fitfully suspenseful, it's grim, message-led stuff. Rated: 3/5 Dec 12, 2008 Full Review Ian Freer Empire Magazine If only the whole matched the power and potency of the details. Masquerades as a searing exposé, but turns out to be a lurid and overwrought account. Rated: 2/5 Dec 12, 2008 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins A ruthlessly disturbing yet important film. Rated: 8/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter The delightfully boyish queer helmer Marco Kreuzpainter now does a complete switch in theme and tone to tell the story... May 20, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Intense, gritty, substantive, compelling, humanizing. Trade begs for Oscar acknowledgment and yours.
