Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Am a student in Edison High school Located in Minneapolis Minnesota, USA am still learning this book and this book made me feel back in home. when i was in Somalia, People in Africa don't really know the value of girl in home, Like In Africa most girls are been married the age of 14 to 17. Just look is a girl of 16 years of age mentally and physically strong. The answer is no. But still many people are still doing. It is really bad to give a young girl and old man just because he have money. So i wanna beg all the people who are reading this article that a girl should be given as high respect and authority a man is been given.

This is happening for decades, I wouldn't call it here as human/child trafficking but child abuse. Most of the locals are shown abusing those children, however, flights are going filled with foreigners to this country to enjoy their sick/evil minded desires, otherwise what's there really worth watching what you don't have in other parts of the world. Thanks to the daring Director and Producer to bring it up to the general public. As well as the local actors, who could be receiving threats from the nationalist parties' workers. What surprises me that local Police is fully involved and helping them and that's how the crime sustain. Also, their corrupt politicians who know everything but showing total different face of their society in order to gain power over the world with that local conditions and how would they make it better for millions of kids abused on daily basis I don't know. Calcutta is just a small piece in this puzzle. I have read some reviews from US that its happening there too, kindly do not compare it with any country may be with other Far Eastern poor nations but this is really ugly. Because if Police finds out in US something like this they wouldn't give long dates for raid, they will put all the efforts to stop it and prevent it from happening.

I loved this movie! It is an eye opening story of human trafficking told about one girl whom is sold into slavery but brings to light the prevalence of this tragedy in India and throughout the world.Some of the scenes are tough to see but are realistic to what these children and women go through in reality. You could not make such a great movie about such a tough subject without showing some of the horrors that these women and children go through. It is filmed in India and Nepal with fantastic location shots. There are some very heart warming scenes that remind you these are just children.After seeing this film you will want to get involved in some way to stop human trafficking. This is a must see movie! Don't miss this eyeopening film!

Sold is a masterpiece movie made on Sex Trafficking. I read numerous articles, novels, watched documentaries on this issue, but nothing shook me from root before. An Excellent production! Every scene, every character was awesome! Some scenes will make you smile, some scenes will give you goose bumps and there are some scenes, that will make you feel uncomfortable, and trust me, that makes the movie so special. After watching this movie, you will feel that you have to take some steps to stop human trafficking. There are stories within the story, characters within characters. So much detail! So much stories unknown! There's a scene where a sex worker mother asks her children to go out as she got a customer to serve, and the children went out so casually - this kind of scenes are often missed from other video fictions. Sold is a must see movie! Recommended to all!
