Trophy presents the very definition of making a deal with the devil.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 22, 2017

The movie is richer in every way for its tangled sympathies. It will leave you angry, sick, and confused - but not smug.

What's abundantly clear is that every other species on Earth is at our mercy, and that there are no easy answers when it comes to determining the most compassionate form of our so-called dominion.

it goes a long way toward complicating our moral assumptions about trophy hunting, as well as a host of other wildlife issues, including conservation, poaching, rhino farms, and the proper balance between man and nature.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 2, 2017
Trophy is an extraordinary accomplishment, for its nuanced presentation of a very tangled issue but more importantly for its gorgeous, wrenching footage of what happens when an American pays to kill an African animal.
