The movie tells the story of a girl who risks everything for freedom after being trafficked from her mountain village in Nepal to a brothel in India. It illustrates the brutality of child trafficking, which affects millions of children around the globe every year.
"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.
[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.
"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.
