Leave your thoughts about Trespass Against Us.
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinIt's lovely to look at and provides food for thought, but it never hits home emotionally. |
| StarburstPeter TurnerIt all boils down to the complicated relationships of fathers and sons, but with some riveting action and heart-tugging drama, Trespass Against Us ends up as thrilling must-see. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdTry as its talented cast does to pump some life into these desperate archetypes, it’s impossible not to draw unflattering comparisons with other, better films. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanThe irony is that we are enthralled by the cast creating marvellously three dimensional characters, yet we are not really engaged by them nor care for most of them. Perhaps the result of heavily accented dialogue that's hard to unscramble |
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Hilary A WhiteFassbender and Gleeson gnash through the mangled "Cheltenham backstreet" accent with vim and eat up one or two jaw-clenching scenes. |
| Empire MagazineDan JolinA family/crime drama with shades of Shane Meadows' early work and a satisfying double act in Fassbender and Gleeson. |
| Time OutDave CalhounIt’s a teasing celebration of outsiderdom without being a full-on endorsement |
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Trespass Against Us" can be episodic, but it locates the core of the father/son dynamic, with its uncomfortable closeness. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondGleeson and Fassbender are class acts who bring an ever-mounting intensity to well-written and cleverly observed proceedings that turn out to be about education, defiance and power. |
| What She SaidAnne BrodieA horrifying scenario but context is given that the hopelessness of their situation can be broken if there is the will. |
