3/4
A mesmerizing talk-a-thon with smart, useful things to say about life, love and rock 'n' roll. Go to Full Review James Bradshaw Globe and Mail 09/18/2010
3/4
Shot simply but compellingly, it feels like a polished and practised portrait of rekindled bonds. Go to Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine 08/20/2019
Witty, moving and immensely satisfying, Trigger is a real gem, and far better than a movie so quickly slapped together has any right to be. It says a lot about what can be accomplished when filmmaking is fired with urgent devotion to a common purpose. Go to Full Review Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls 03/06/2019

11/07/2017 Unique, poignant, interesting, well-acted and directed.. See more 03/18/2016 Found Myself Being Able To Closely Relate To The Source Material. Attempting To Build Shattered Trust, Honoring A Broken Friendship, In The Aftermath Of Mixed Life Passions Is Compelling Viewing. The Backdrop Of Music & Drugs Add The Pressure Until Things Final Burst Open. I Liked The Gritty Nature Of It All. See more 06/22/2014 about 35 minutes into Trigger we pulled the Trigger .. Boring !
