Shocking, disturbing ... but perhaps not that memorable
The story is well conceived and well acted. At times, it is both grim and hard-hitting.
Fiction aside, the viewer may even be prompted to pause and consider the real girls who choose this risky way out of a dead-end life.
If those aspects came across well, then there were also some misgivings. As a theme, sex-trafficking, drugs and violence has been done to death in recent years, so it would take something very special to stand out from the crowd. This didn't quite hit those heights.
It should also be pointed out - and I've seen others mention it too - that the dialogue is frequently too abrupt to be realistic. - 7.7/10.
