There was a thoughtful approach to the development of the family in "Buying Back My Daughter." A part of each of them was broken with the abduction of the daughter Alicia. The filmmakers approached the healing process in a sensitive way.

It was only troubling that police were so ineffective and so slow in investigating what became apparent as a clear case of kidnapping and human trafficking.

Even when the mother had discovered the website with pictures of Alicia, the police were slow to respond. Instantly, the site should have been traced. But the parents were justifiably incredulous when they were told it would take weeks or months!

The performances were earnest, and the drama as a whole was very moving. In the closing credits, there was a notice about the prevalence of the websites. When uncovered, they must be investigated immediately!

Please don't waste your time watching this ridiculous film. Every single character in this film made nonsensical decisions from the daughter to the parents to the trafficker. I am not an expert on this subject matter but even I know that no one would do the silly things that these people are doing. One of the biggest irritants of all were the parents. I felt I was more upset and anxious than they were, especially the father. I don't even know why his character needed to be there. His character was so poorly written and made him so passive and useless. The mother was just stupid. I'm amazed that Megan Good signed up for this BS. The greatest actor in the world couldn't help this script.
