Maybe, maybe, if you can roll with the tonal sluggers and the tacit endorsement of the toxic behaviour being exhibited, this could be a decent Bad Movie Night pick.

[Full of] textural and stylistic details, Shinohara is also successful in delivering a delicate depiction of seasonal change throughout the film... vividly [revealing] Trapezium as a wistful survey of youth’s years and accordant vulnerabilities.

What the movie does wonderfully is give a tight, tense look at one girl, the sheer scope of her ambition, and what happens when a perfect plan begins to crack.

Still, it’s that conflict — motivated not by good versus evil, but by differing goals and points of view — that elevates “Trapezium” above a lot of anime in the same genre.
