Sold (2016)

Fantastic!

Better Late Then Never

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I happened to find "Sold" by random luck, and after having read the synopsis of the movie, I decided to give it a watch, because the synopsis sounded like a storyline that could make for an emotional and interesting movie.It happened to turn out that "Sold" was quite entertaining, especially because it was very believable, and it had some very convincing performances from the cast. Of course, it deals with a rather disturbing topic, but something that actually does take place around the world. And the fact that this is something that could very well happen around the world adds authenticity to the movie."Sold" is the type of movie that gets under your skin and sticks with you for a long, long time. And a big round of applause should go out to writer Joseph Kwong, as well as writer and director Jeffrey D. Brown for the result that they accomplished with this movie.The cast in "Sold" really performed amazingly well in this movie, and that statement applies to everyone on the cast ensemble. I was especially impressed with Niyar Saikia (playing Lakshmi), as she at that young age carried the movie so well and performed really well. Initially I was a little bit hesitant about Gillian Anderson being in the movie, but it turned out that she surprised with her performance here. It should also be said that Sushmita Mukherjee (playing Mumtaz).While you might be appalled by what happens throughout the course of the movie, remember that it is just a movie. But the impact of the storyline and the events portrayed herein have that much more sway to them as you know that things like this actually happen across the world.If you enjoy dramas that are based on real life events, then "Sold" is definitely a movie that you should take the time to sit down and watch.

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.

As an international human rights lawyer and social justice activist for women and girls, I've seen a great deal of poverty and oppression. This film, however, poignantly manages to capture what few of us have ever seen, much less imagine -- child trafficking. While the overall story is one of tragedy, the outcome is one of hope. Namely, the "voice of the voiceless" emerges, and it is engaging, empowering, educating, and inspiring. I was transformed. Thank you for caring about these children and for sharing their powerful story with us, reminding us that we are all connected and what happens to "our sisters" on one side of the world affects us all. Because of its important message, the film is definitely a compelling tool for students, families and communities to learn more about human trafficking, the challenges girls face in the developing world, and ways we can each help these girls and make a difference.
