The sheer joy and energy of the boys propels Trash and keeps us rooting for good over evil despite the contrived ending.

Time Out London by Cath Clarke

Some people will hate Trash for being not grittily real enough, but Daldry’s point – a hope-against-hope optimistic one – is that the energy of young people can change Brazil.

Variety by Jay Weissberg

Trash works in large part thanks to the infectious energy and sheer pleasure in comradeship exuded by the three young teen boys.

The A.V. Club by Noel Murray

But while once upon a time Daldry made a very good movie like "Billy Elliot", here he lets what should’ve been an efficient little thriller get stymied by an excess of style, and the weight of self-importance.
