Stephen Cole Globe and Mail A mesmerizing talk-a-thon with smart, useful things to say about life, love and rock 'n' roll. Rated: 3/4 Oct 1, 2010 Full Review James Bradshaw Globe and Mail Shot simply but compellingly, it feels like a polished and practised portrait of rekindled bonds. Rated: 3/4 Sep 18, 2010 Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine 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. Aug 20, 2019 Full Review Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls ... you totally buy that these women have a history together and they've both been through some heavy, heavy sh*t. Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Shelagh Rowan-Legg That Shelf No one does a rock 'n roll movie quite like [Bruce] McDonald. May 15, 2018 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an aimless and stagy piece of work that fizzles out to an increasingly (and distressingly) demonstrable degree as it progresses. Rated: 2/4 Jul 31, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Unique, poignant, interesting, well-acted and directed.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member about 35 minutes into Trigger we pulled the Trigger .. Boring ! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Good artsy film. :) About women in rock (fictional) which is always a fun subject to me!!!
