Trespass Against Us

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.

Critic Reviews for Trespass Against Us

All Critics (70) | Top Critics (27) | Fresh (40) | Rotten (30)

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

    September 28, 2017 | Full Review…

    Adam Nayman

    Cinema Scope

  • 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.

    March 5, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Wendy Ide

    Observer (UK)

  • 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.

    March 2, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

    Kevin Maher

    Times (UK)

  • An enormously frustrating film that, thanks to smart casting and well-drawn characters, abounds in rich, gamey flavour and rough, palpable texture.

    March 2, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Donald Clarke

    Irish Times

  • A family/crime drama with shades of Shane Meadows' early work and a satisfying double act in Fassbender and Gleeson.

    March 2, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

    Dan Jolin

    Empire Magazine

  • A rickety curio that wavers between whimsy and dour melodrama, it drifts aimlessly, achieving very little - much like the Anglo-Irish vagabonds the film revolves around.
