empire magazine gave Trespass Against Us 4 stars

two magnetic Irish actors

Fassbender has the tougher role, playing a man who knows no other life than the school-shunning, smash-and-grab antics encouraged by his dad, but who is desperate to slip free to do right by his own kids. Still, he pulls it off — successfully portraying a man strong enough to start planning an escape, yet exasperatingly weak enough to still be there at his age

Gleeson, meanwhile, is a joy to behold, monstrous, but with a welcome light touch

director Adam Smith (here making his feature debut, after the superbly immersive Chemical Brothers concert movie Don’t Think)

cinematographer Eduard Grau (A Single Man, Suffragette) offers some gently lyrical flourishes that lift the film above the expected grimy docu-drama feel

inventive car-chases, too, one with Chad at the wheel of motor whose windscreen is covered in paint, but for a letterbox-sized view hole

like early Shane Meadows

a satisfying double act in Fassbender and Gleeson
