In the first half hour, I really suffered in the company of those unpleasant, evil characters. But when the plot switches to the sister and the grandmother of the main character, Trash Fire becomes disquieting, in an interesting way. The film is presented as a comedy – and there’s plenty of humour – but it’s a very black comedy, at best, with an almost devastating effect.

I avoided the film for a long time, which makes it all the more worthwhile at the end. I laughed a lot for the first half hour. The ego of the arrogant main character was over the line, but that's what made it interesting. Once the action shifts to grandma's house the blackly humorous comedy becomes a disturbing, slightly twisted and gripping thriller that sticks out in its originality. Very good, even surprising entertainment. 75%
