Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Audiences most definitely will squirm and wish they were anywhere but in the theater, despite the fact that it features some of Clive Owen's best work and a startling movie debut by the 15-year-old Liana Liberato.
What Trust conveys, at its best, is that ultimately parental protections are not foolproof, and that is the greatest horror of all.
Schwimmer directs this smarmy Hot Topic drama with empathy for the craft of acting but less interest in the craft of making a movie move.
Prurient, ham-handed and amateurish.
