Quotes
Tyson Cutler: Is it true we come from fishes?
Colby Cutler: What'd you say?
Tyson Cutler: It's what they said at school.
Colby Cutler: You just listen to me, me boy, and listen good... No one is about to tell me I come from the arse of an ape, or that your granddaddy were a goldfish. Really. What a load of bollocks.
[pause]
Colby Cutler: You really think God made us from a fish?
Tyson Cutler: Teacher said.
Colby Cutler: Well, they're fannies then. Great big fannies. Don't listen to 'em, Ty. Don't listen to 'em. From fishes. Yeah well, maybe her ancestors. Not mine, not yours. I thought school was supposed to teach you common senses.
Tyson Cutler: I don't like it there.
Colby Cutler: Fucking waste of time, if you ask me. They're trying to control your mind. That's why I never did send Chad to school. You've gotta stand up against these cunts, Tyson... So they don't trespass against us.

A criminal family

This film tells the story of an outcast criminal family, who lives in a trailer park somewhere in the United Kingdom. The main character's life is plagued with problems, as they have a controlling father, a mentally challenged brother and two children who grow up under a dubious environment.

"Tresspass Against Us" reminds me of "Captain Fantastic" because of their outcast status and unconventional lifestyle and the focus on the effect on the children's lives. "Tresspass Against Us" tells a more diverse story, as the entire family structure contribute equally to the story. Despite the mostly small time criminality and their obvious disrespect for the authorities, I still have developed much sympathy towards the family's hardship and challenges. I am touched by the Kel' determination for the children to be in school, and by the memorable ending. It is sad that the downfall is brought on by a human trait other than serious criminality. I find this film charming and engaging.
