Shot simply but compellingly, it feels like a polished and practised portrait of rekindled bonds.

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.

... you totally buy that these women have a history together and they've both been through some heavy, heavy sh*t.

No one does a rock 'n roll movie quite like [Bruce] McDonald.

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.
