United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Jose Rivera’s highly improbable and sensationalized screenplay leaves its actors no room for authenticity"	NEG
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"This crude melodrama never uses a scalpel when a sledgehammer will do (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What is the purpose of this movie? Does it manipulate its subject matter a little too much in its quest to be 'entertaining'? Why should this material be entertaining? (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Time Out	"[It] is remarkably effective as agit-prop, tackling a challenging subject without flinching. [The director] does a superb job exploring the tawdry banality of evil (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Michael Koresky IndieWire	"'Trade' is a disaster from the top down. Obviously the work of a filmmaker who has genuinely no ideas about the ethics of storytelling or representation"	NEG
