The movie "Sold" in theory could have been a great movie about the horrors of sex slavery and human trafficking, but it is not. While the acting itself is good, there is little character development or dimension to any of the characters. A lot of the storyline lacks cohesiveness and hinges on assumption. There is no relatable timeline. We don't know if Lakshmi has been at the brothel a week or a year. Gillian Anderson, portrays a photographer/documentarian and David Arquette, an investigator working with local authorities to raid the brothel. Both Anderson and Arquette are almost irrelevant as characters. We see small snippets of them clumsily interwoven in the story. I wanted this movie to be more, it's a topic that's important, but it just did not hit the mark.
