As previous reviewer said , conditions of slavery portrayed is probably much more horrible at times then whats on film.

Corruption is presented in brief moments.

Overall, with a ending that make much sense, is a movie that make me feel sad about how physical and mental acertive brut force run the world.

One of the best international films I've seen in a long time. It's the opposite of what you'd expect from a Hollywood produced film about this topic. It's a documentary styled story that feels as real as it gets. There's barely a score throughout the film, but that silence in the scenes just makes it more realistically unsettling.

This is novice Brazilian writer and director Alexandre Moratto's second only full length feature film, with only a handful of docu's and shorts. What makes this film brilliant besides its perfect presentation, is how a universally know problem of being trafficked, also portrays the moral dilemma of when the victim is given the option to become the captor. And even that is a true reality.

The casting and performances are exceptionally realistic, and apparently one of the cast members with zero acting skills is a human trafficking survivor. The sets and locations are what you'd expect to see from slumdog gangsters in underdeveloped countries.

This film is a must see for everyone, as it's told in such a way that you will not be prepared for it, it will leave you unsettled for a while, and at the very least, educate you in the most realest way possible - second only to being the victim or captor, about international human trafficking. It sure opened up my eyes.

Moratto is certainly an up and coming filmmaker to keep an eye out for. Bravo Netflix for yet another acquisition of such a gem of a film. A well deserved 8/10 from me.

A Brazilian drama on Netflix. To provide a better life for his family in the country, 18-year-old Mateus accepts a job in a junkyard in São Paulo for his new boss, Luca, but becomes trapped in the dangerous world of human trafficking.

Phew this movie was intense. Human trafficking was already a serious topic that didn't get much attention or solution, and this movie brought this topic back up with a terrifying look at how the cycle of traffickers and trafficking perpetuates.

What made this movie so horrifying was its simple yet realistic story. The main character was smart and knew how to survive in the harsh world, but by doing that he started to lose his humanity and his old self. With his situation, it's frustrating, shocking, but bizarrely logical watching the decisions that the main character made.

When I watch a movie I usually look at the time to see how far I was into the movie. However, this was one of those that brought my attention almost 100% for the whole runtime.

Overall, a movie that tackled a dark topic in a realistic way that would draw you all in. 9/10.

I enjoyed this movie a lot.

Of course it's a simple movie but the story is not predictable at all. The characters are interesting and the camera work is very good too. You can watch it for free also

Give it a chance.

The story takes you on a journey from humble beginnings of a peaceful village to the urban decay of the city.

This movie gets you thinking, what would you do? Question your mortality and it did a fine job in showcasing this.

Definitely worth a watch, would of liked to see more towards ending of the movie regarding the main character.
