"Sold" is maudlin in a way that makes its audience, paradoxically, feel good, albeit superficially. A story of human trafficking should move us on a deeper, more uncomfortable level.

All of this is uncomfortable to watch. Then again, given the subject matter, it should be.

[Brown] does his best to suggest the lighter side of the subject, especially in a furiously choreographed Bollywood number that captures the heroine's rare moments of joy.

Sold isn't cheap or shoddy and the relationships between the captives is affecting, but it's impossible to shake the feeling that it would make more sense in a lecture hall than in a theater.

The film has a worthy message, but doesn't present its brave young heroine's story compellingly.

Brown makes it clear that what happened to Lakshmi is not her fault - and more importantly, she's never passive, taking her fate into her own hands.

This movie brought tears to my eyes. There were some parts that were hard to watch but I was happy to see the little girl escape in the end. I am glad this movie was made because it brings attention to a very serious problem in child sex trafficking.

SOLD is a deeply disturbing movie that gives a glimpse into the world of child sex slave trafficking in India and how very few escape this terrible horror filled life. It is a moving story of a young girl who has dreams of someday helping her mother replace the family's leaking thatched roof with Tin and while at a traditional celebration she meets a woman who tells her and her father that she will take her to the Big City (India) where she will make lots of money working for a wealthy family in they're home. What this brave 12yr old girl encounters is horrifyingly heartbreaking!

Excellent movie, very tastefully done, if that can be said about such a subject. If the topic of sex trafficking or modern day slavery matters to you, I highly recommend you watch this.
