i must have seen a different film!!
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This movie is a big reminder for parents to remember how important it is to teach and protect your children and preparing them for what could possibly happen in their life. It is a big responsibility to have a child and even bigger one to educate them against the Predators and to know who might be a predator. This is a very moving story about such events that could have been avoided but we're overlooked because of trusting people that we're not investigated first. As a mother I was horrified but enlightened and reminded that every mother should teach her child girl or boy to watch out for suspicious people who want to use them. If you love your child teach them
Probably underrated. This, a fairly decent story of how three women survived sex trafficking and their experience at a "ranch" in Texas.
I don't usually review either, as one reviewer said, but after seeing deb-481-36108's review, I was irate. Deb is obviously not a fan of Judd, probably bringing her sad view of politics into the review of a movie that was timely, forthright and honest, if brutal in it's depiction. This kind of things happens all the time, in every city, in every country. For this movie to be seen, to get a glimpse of one of the many ways it's happening, who knows, it could help stop even one girl from ending up in this tragedy. Judd did a great job, as usual. She's an amazing actress, and all portrayed their characters well. It was gritty, and gave us enough back story to know that these girls had lives waiting for them, cut short because of greed. Please, see this movie. Do not listen to sad people who go after stars for their political beliefs.
This was a great topic to make a film about, and one would think with so many (15!) producers involved, they wouldn't have messed up the production.For starters, you don't hire Siddharth Kara, the author of one book (on the subject matter) with zero film experience to write the screenplay. He should have stayed on as only a producer but only to consult, and hired a professional screenwriter.Next, the directing was sub par... nice camera work but the actors, albeit C-grade, needed better direction so they wouldn't appear as if this was their first high school play. A few of the actors were decent, but I could see the lost potential to make their roles great from the lack of direction from novice director Will Wallace. Again, had a better director come on board, this film would have been great.Overall the story/premise needed to be shown to create awareness, Some parts are brutal, but it does get the message across.Would I see it again? No. Would I recommend it? Maybe to parents with young daughters.It's a 7/10 from me, primarily for the story that needed to be told.
