Holly (2007)

There has been one great humanist drama about the evils of sex trafficking — Lukas Moodysson's Lilya 4-Ever — but audiences steered clear of it, so why would they now show up for Holly, a dawdling, myopic drama about an American drifter (Ron Livingston) in Cambodia who tries to save a 12-year-old virgin (Thuy Nguyen) sold into prostitution by her family? The film sees the naïvetéof its hero's quest, but not its creepy narcissism: His fixation on singling out one pretty girl to rescue is so arbitrary, it becomes the ''saintly'' offshoot of Western entitlement.
