Selling Isobel

I can say that, you can hate me for this, but this is one of those films (Alongside Requiem for a Dream) that they should play at least teens in school. This is a very important message, do not TRUST STRANGERS.

Our main villain who reminds me of Ted Bundy, is a manipulative monster, that who knows how many ladies had gotten this way. Crazy how realistic this movie really is. This is how it works; They seem polite, normal, humane, and then they turn into the worst monster you can think of on the planet earth. Also this movie reminds me a lot, a lot of A Serbian film, just this movie seems more mature with the subject matter.

I can tell you that for the most part i was not bored during the movie, infact i was just thinking for the most part why? And then it's all tied up in a bow, our villain is actually someone elses puppet, which is why he does what he does. There's always someone on top of that someone.

I can safely put this movie in the same boat as Sweet Whip and Thriller A Cruel Picture, a pretty good movie.

Low budget tree stories. The bad scenes are Graphically held back whilst you still get the picture.

On this Topic I'm always so sensitive. Very disturbing matter. I remember first seeing SEX TRAFFIC over 2 decades ago , that's where the subject matter I was first made aware of & utterly shocked & disturbed. Then the Seasoning House based on sex trade in Balkans war did a fictional heartbreaking story but with a justified ending.

These tales are so heartbreaking. & it makes you question wtf our governments worldwide are really upto when 10s of millions of people are stolen & trafficked yearly, but decent citizens can't avoid parking tickets or anything. I noticed at the end of this story ( which was well acted by the leading lady, who carried the film by herself) it said details of website were traced back to Eastern Europe. Always the same. Why does my country allow them to flood in. The UK alone is flooded with Albanian dealers, is this what they want for our citizens. Very scary world. Speaks volumes when the problems getting worse & not better. I'm Glad this woman escaped & my prayers to the ones that didn't.

Hell can only await such evil people. Literally the worst criminals.

Never heard the expression "just another sex trafficking story". Thats what someone elses review said. Callous. Scary as it was so simple and i am surethere will be victim blaming. This happened to an ordinary woman just trying to get on with her life. Utterly chilling. As for the customers. Totally believable.

Some of the performances were decent and it obviously sheds light on an important issue, but.... she went to the apartment.... ALONE?... TWICE?? Did she actually do that in real life?? If she did, doesn't that make her seem either unbelievably naive or dumb or both??

Obviously this was an extremely traumatic event in Frida's life. I know she says she's not a victim but a survivor, which she definitely is. However, it would be ñhard for me to believe that she doesn't have PTSD and anxiety at the very least, especially since none of the perpetrators were ever caught. I just find it extremely odd that she would want to play herself in the movie. I can't imagine putting myself back into demoralizing and exploitive scenes. She must have had one hell of a support team. I know I wouldn't have been able to reenact my own rape, especially in such a brutal way. Nevertheless, I'm glad she's still here to tell her harrowing story m.
