Leave your thoughts about Tricked: The Documentary.
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA documentary that presents the sexual exploitation of young women as a systemic cancer that feeds on public misconception as much as male appetites. |
| Village VoiceHeather BaysaFor all the heartbreaking depth with which the filmmakers explore the horrors of human trafficking, the film still leaves one with a sense of a larger story just beyond their grasp. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThough convincing in its argument that pimps and clients are treated much better than they should be in our legal system as compared to prostitutes, the film presents a picture of America's sex-trade landscape that will feel incomplete to many viewers. |
| The DissolveNick SchagerDespite its wealth of urgent footage, including clips of raids on pimps’ homes and arrests of johns that expose the seedy masculine desire and domination driving the sex trade, Tricked doesn’t have anything new or particularly eye-opening to say about its subject. |
| User Reviewcuz75This film is billed on Netflix as "...in-depth documentary examines all sides of America's sex-trafficking trade, which destroys lives as it generates $3 billion a year.." but I found it to be blatantly stereotypical, narrow-minded and counterproductive. It paints a picture as if these three or four pimps are the core and foundation of a world-wide epidemic that crosses all nations, cultures, religions and incomes. The film claims to expose the US sex trade however "Tricked" does a very poor job handling such an important topic. You'll feel for the girls featured but I'm sure many will also feel TRICKED after watching it. |
