A young Korean-American girl, abducted and forced into prostitution by domestic human traffickers, joins forces with her captors in a desperate plea to survive.
A frustratingly mild interpretation of a horrific true-life incident.
Dramatised with surprising restraint in the low-key Eden.
I would have liked to know more about the criminal setup, though leaving it unexplained gives it a greater tang of evil: a very strong performance from Chung.
It's chilling, convincing, matter-of-fact realism.
It’s hard to get audiences to view a film on this topic; Griffiths deserves credit for packaging some genuinely shocking and provocative content into a cautionary tale that’s also highly watchable.
