Recap: Life is neither easy, nor fair. That's a lesson one learns early in the poor neighborhoods of Anthony's home town. But at least they have each other, and the four friends grow up to be brothers. But a tragic hunting accident leave one of them dead, and the incident haunts the surviving friends. They struggle, growing up. Through school and through odd low-paying jobs. They question for what future they have to fight for. But Anthony, due to an award winning essay, has a scholarship waiting. He just don't know if he should use it or remain loyal to his friends.
Comments: A very intriguing story about growing up, when growing up isn't easy. Where the environment is tough and money hard to come by. When hopes for a better future diminishes and hopelessness sets in. Where helping a friend, loyalty and trust is most important. Trash shows all this.
Trash is a powerful movie. It's not an easy story to tell, and not one with an happy ending. It's about showing the struggle, and for me, not having to almost fight for survival during my childhood to glimpse a piece of another reality. To understand some emotions and get some whys answered. It's not entertaining, but it's not meant to be. It is just very interesting.
Without good acting Trash would have been nothing. Fortunately both Jeremy Sisto and Eric Michael Cole depicts the struggling youths very well. You can see how the conflicting emotions tear them apart, and to see that is what Trash is all about. Also Jamie Pressly delivers a for her unusual role.
But to sum it up, Trash is just a very good drama about growing up.
6/10
