Market Value

I have never seen the subject of human trafficking dealt with in this manner. Market Value brings a truly unique story and vision to life through grounded and captivating characters. Wendell Etherly has done an outstanding job painting a picture that is not only believable but frightening. The love created in this modern family drama coupled with the consequences Audrey's choice brings to the world makes this gem of an indie well worth the watch. Stand out performances by the conflicted and loving partner Audrey, the private investigator and the litigator really take this one of a kind drama to another level. I was truly moved by the film.

The acting was terrible from Jules Bruff. She was just awful. It was difficult to get into the movie because she was too distracting (not in a good way either). Nothing about her was believable or likable. Too bad.

A pretty interesting turn of events in this film, and the writing had the skills, the structure to make the context engaging, and that's what makes this film stand out from a lot of other indies I've seen. The writer clearly knows how to deliver context in a compelling enough way. The big let down was the characters, there isn't a whole lot to any of them, not a lot of depth or dimension. To add, most of the acting is weak, especially from the lead female, she was pretty bad. The 2 exceptions were the private investigator and the lawyer for the protagonist who stood out as competent.

Lead character was weak and whiney and her wife was self-centered.

Honestly, I could not watch this movie but I did listen to it. The way the camera was constantly moving made me sick to my stomach. There comes a point when it became ridiculous. Did all the cameramen have Parkinson's? The characters are so unlikable and so poorly acted I really had no compassion for any of them.
