On the relatively positive side, "The Trade" is a reminder that the people who are caught up in this world are only human; it encourages empathy. Go to Full Review Amanda Holpuch Guardian 02/14/2018
It's an intimate style the director, Matthew Heineman, used in the Oscar-nominated Cartel Land, and it puts a face to people impacted by the crisis. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 02/06/2018
It is transfixing. Go to Full Review Musanna Ahmed Film Inquiry 08/28/2018
Extremely grisly footage of cartel murders show that, like with City of Ghosts, this is a filmmaker who uses unflinching footage to depict the truly awful extent that these geo-political issues have reached. Somebody has to tell the complete story. Go to Full Review Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice 08/28/2018
[The Trade] is a searing journey and a chronicle about what is happening right now in many, despairing lives. Go to Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider 02/14/2018
