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.
