Griffiths lays bare a many-tentacled trafficking system sickening in its reach.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

A quite moving performance comes from Jamie Chung as Eden, repulsion sliding into fearful acceptance without the extinction of hope.
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic
Rotten
Nearly every second is taken up with the horrors inflicted upon the heroine by the sorriest bunch of good ol' boy sadists since "Deliverance."
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post

Griffiths and her screenwriter, Rick Phillips Jr., manage the tricky business of evoking the specific horrors of sex slavery without languishing in the lurid and graphic.
Scott Tobias, AV Club
