Critics Consensus

Action-packed, funny, and thought-provoking, Trash finds feel-good cinema in real-life squalor without resorting to cheap sentimentality.

While the caper plot has its moments, I kept hoping "Trash" would do more than treat its setting as some curiously unexplainable foreign planet.

A diverting two hours, and an excellent reminder of the wide world of stories out there waiting to be told.

An intensive, propulsive political thriller representing a tautly executed return to form for director Stephen Daldry.

Trash is a magical film, possessing the ability to simultaneously anger you and lift your spirits as you are taken for a thrilling ride through the injustice of life in Rio de Janeiro.

4/5

Daldry has a rare talent... for drawing out the very best from young actors. The sheer joy and energy of the boys propels Trash and keeps us rooting for good over evil despite the contrived ending.

Started as intriguing as slumdog millionaire vibes but failed to hold the momentum at the end

The RT consensus nails it---and I'd add that TRASH is visually beautiful and deeply evocative throughout. Highly recommended.

This film has quite a 'Slumdog Millionaire' feel to it, in terms of the setting (children living in poverty , while others more well off live nearby) and chase scenes being present. The characters are quite endearing and I thought the cast did well. The plot is also quite good and I liked that its not especially predictable. There are other, similar films around, this one is primarily in Portuguese, although there are subtitles for those who don't speak the language - its perhaps not the most memorable of films but its still a good watch regardless.
