Billy Elliot director Stephen Daldry's latest film focused around the younger generation is most certainly not the feel good movie you may have been expecting. After either hearing about Trash or even seeing the films front cover one may be expecting a feel good romp but Trash's greatest success and also in some ways its greatest weakness is the fact that it's not afraid to go dark, real dark making it an uneasy mix between family adventure and dead set violent thriller. A huge step up from Daldry's last big screen adventure (although that's not a grand achievement), Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Trash see's the long serving British thespian head to Brazil to direct this effort, a film that in a wide serving way mixes elements of The Goonies, Stand By Me and other children on a mission movies into a quite complicated and often downright bleak story written for the screen by famed writer/director Richard Curtis, creator of Love Actually. Flirting the line between a feel good tale of struggling young Brazilian kids who may just have a chance at a better shot at life than a struggle to make ends meet at the local city garbage dump and a genuine life or death good vs evil tale of political corruption mixed with some torture and murder, Trash isn't afraid to show the darker side to this party locale. From memory I can't recall a film that was so quick to show violence towards children, one particular scene involving an unbuckled backseat passenger in a speeding cop car is easily one of the more uncomfortable scenes you'll witness this year and it sets Trash apart from any of its counterparts for better or worse. At the centre of this sometimes uneasy film in both tone and subject are 3 child performances that really make Trash a film worth tracking down. With no previous before camera acting experience, Rickson Tevez, Eduardo Luis and Gabriel Weinstein excel in their respective roles and create a trio of young lads that we can root for. Surrounded by industry veteran Martin Sheen in the token 'white saviour" role and the always impressive Rooney Mara, these boys are the stars of the show that are only matched by Brazil itself as the films biggest wins. Trash suffers from some form of identity crisis that stops it from ever reaching a great height, clearly backed up the films weak cinematic box office haul and somewhat muted critical reception and if the film had backed itself in as either a pure adventure or a jet black thriller it may've had more chance to really breakout. With some great young performers outshining there experienced co-stars and with Brazil as alive as ever, Trash is still worth your time even though like the dump the boys live in, you'll have to wade through the garbage for your rewards. 3 non-cleanly swimming spots out of 5

Straight out of a political corrupt and disastrous World Cup in Brazil this adventurous and mysterious drama portraits society and the way of life in Brazil. With all it's hierarchy, various social-classes and elitism best friends and street-boys Gordo, Rapael & Co turn whistleblowers and fight for what they believe is right. While running through out the night on the roof tops of the favela chased by the police and dirty politicians they stay true to their beliefs and the people who mean the most to them. Keep an eye on the star in the making Rickson Tevez who plays Raphael. The young boys are amazing little actors just like their role models in modern classics such as City of God and City of Men. Martin Sheen, Rooney Mara and the brilliant Brazilian actor Wagner Moura all star in this heart warming adventurous full speed crime drama which has a great ending to it. / Peter A Eldon. 2014-10-24.

Trash is set in the rubbish tip mountains of Rio de Janeiro, where three amazingly talented actors of around 14 pull off more escapes from police, politicians, thug minders and their own cronies than is possibly believable. Having skirted the societally impossible task of presenting accurately what being a real life garbage rat must actually be like, this film careers around corrupt politicians, well meaning priests, assorted hangers-on and a lot of low life the bottom of the pile attracts. Martin Sheen as Fr Juilliard is excellent and with Wagner Moura, Selton Mello and Rickson Tevez as the young protagonists the film has heaps of energy. I got a bit sick of the endless chases up and down the insides and outsides of cramped ghetto village buildings, but they were more interesting than endless futuristic CGI end of the universe shootouts. It's a bit too schmaltzy, a bit too long, the destination is telegraphed early and nothing really makes you think the ending will be other than as it unfolds. But it's good fun, entertaining and mostly uplifting – just don't take it too seriously.

The common images of Brazil are soccer/football, Carnaval, the Amazon rainforest, the beaches, and Christ the Redeemer. A less flattering image of Latin America's largest country is the favelas, tightly packed ghettos full of people ignored by society. Stephen Daldry's "Trash" looks at some teenage inhabitants of the favelas who are digging through garbage one day when they find a wallet that could upset local politics. Not surprisingly, they become targets of a merciless police force. This is what one might call the real Brazil. Much like Fernando Meirelles's "City of God", "Trash" shows what life is like for a large portion of Brazil's population. When the boys cross into the downtown, one can see a sharp contrast between this part of town and the slums where the boys live. One of Lula's goals was eliminating hunger, but he and Rousseff weakened their legacies by demolishing favelas to make room for sports stadiums (and it's all but certain that the Olympic stadium will never get used after the games next year). This is a different turn for Daldry after his past few movies. Although "Billy Elliott" also dealt with class issues, "The Hours" focused more on gender issues (I haven't seen "The Reader" or "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"). I'd say that Martin Sheen's long-time political activism makes him the right person for the role of the priest servicing the favela. All in all, it's a really good movie. I recommend it.

I was recommended this movie on several occasions by some of my Brazilian friends, and was never able to find the time to watch it. I always prioritized other movies. Still, in the back of my mind, I really wanted to watch it. I finally did, and man I was disappointed. I was expecting something as gripping as City of God, as entertaining as Tropa de Elite, but no. Trash was definitely a lot worse than these two movies. I don't think there ever was enough tension in the movie and the characters felt a little amusing sometimes. At least that's my opinion. Not every movie can be a masterpiece, so I guess I'll judge this one as just another decent movie coming from Brazil, with the typical Favela kids vs Underworld Bosses + corrupt police. Decent. That's it.
