A Fair Trade

About This Movie

So, 'A Fair Trade' is this intriguing mix of black comedy and crime, directed by Declan Sennott. It follows Tommy, a middle school kid, who gets dragged into the chaotic world of drug dealing by his classmates. The way the film portrays the unraveling trust between the boys is pretty brutal yet darkly humorous. You get a real sense of the tension and the absurdity of their situation. The pacing feels just right—drawing you into their downward spiral without it feeling rushed. There's a rawness to the performances that adds depth, especially in how they handle the complexities of teenage friendships. It’s that blend of humor and serious themes that makes it distinctive, really.
