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

Mostly dreary.

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

This earnest low-budget drama reinforces a worthwhile message about global sex trafficking, but it's more admirable for its effort than its execution.

"Sold" is colorful and visually pleasing, although there is nothing surprising in the rather predictable story. But then again, it was likely not Brown's intent to supply endless twists and turns.

"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.

Important story, subpar execution.

[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.

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.
April 01, 2016
Brutal yet sensitively rendered, putting a human face, if a fictional one, on an issue that rarely gets one. Almost Dickens for the 21st century.

One sloppy, episodic scene after another, this is a socially serious message film without a well-developed dramatic moment in sight.

Horror of Human Trafficking.
