Critics Consensus

Trespass Against Us benefits from Michael Fassbender and Brendan Gleeson's typically strong performances, even when they aren't quite enough to balance the story's narrative drift and awkward tonal shifts.

On-the-nose-ness, multiplied across the film's running time, undermines the film's sturdy dramatic arc and absorbing local texture.

3/5

What sets Trespass Against Us apart is the fact that its milieu, the Traveller community, is one rarely seen outside Gypsy wedding-style TV series.

2/5

This hit-and-miss crime drama never quite finds its feet, despite an intriguing West Country setting, some attempts at social commentary and two meaty roles for Ireland's finest thesps, Brendan Gleeson and Michael Fassbender.

3/5

On the lam, the film too often grinds its gears and dulls its edgy tone. The turn-over-a-new-leaf elements of parental challenges lack engagement come up empty.

3/5

Director Adam Smith wallows a little too long in Chad's plight, but with two ever-watchable actors like Fassbender and Gleeson, 'Trespass Against Us' rises from the mire just enough.

It's a shame they're not given material that draws out parts we don't know. This talent combination ought to surprise instead of simply satisfy.

Greatest movie ever made. Especially if you're a fan of middle aged Irish males.

Pretty nasty on gypsies/travellers yet celebrates their gumption. Since the boy is Tyson there may be a link to the Fury gang. Patchy.

I’m surprised at all of the negative reviews. Great acting and great story. Definitely worth your time!

I found this movie to be absolutely awful slow, boring and ridiculous to say the least. What a complete waste of my time & talented actors. Outside of the actors, this movie is complete rubbish!!!

You'll either love it or hate it. You'll either understand it or you won't. Not going to bother explaining why for either, but I encourage people to try it.

Racconto che nasce e muore con i due protagonisti e con il loro rapporto; tutto il resto purtroppo resta troppo di contorno e non viene sviluppato abbastanza. Certamente Fassbender e Gleeson riescono a rendere partecipe lo spettatore con i loro dialoghi, dubbi e litigi. Però si ha la sensazione che tanto del materiale più originale non venga trattato nel modo giusto; specialmente in relazione allo stile di vita del "campo". Molto tenera la sequenza finale, senza grandi colpi di scena, seppure forse un po' troppo sbrigativo il modo di arrivarci.
