I haven't seen the movie, but I plan too.

When they discuss sex trafficking, how are the defining it?

Are these people that are being kidnapped off the street, or are these runaways, drug-addicts, that are being pimped out?

Both are bad, obviously, but different parts of the spectrum.

This sounds uncannily like the SloFloPro kinds of arguments where he narrows the definition of child sex trafficking, divides it into multiple categories and claims the “real” numbers for it are a minuscule subset of the much larger numbers of global human trafficking.

The movie and its supporters are portrayed as intentionally using inflated numbers to inflame right wing hysteria and to play to Qanon/Comet Pizza/Pizzagate conspiracy nuts.

These are common talking points being adopted to demonize the movie, its advocates, and to deflect attention from global sex trafficking. Read a few posts of this type to get an idea.
