Critics Consensus

Director David Schwimmer gets some gut-wrenching performances out of his actors but he still lacks the chops to fully ratchet up story tension.

Derek Malcolm

London Evening Standard

Even if it's a mite clunky, Trust does a decent job and avoids the regulation happy ending.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

The whole section of the plot dealing with Will's shame and rage at failing to protect his child is hammily and unconvincingly acted.

Liana Liberato is superb as the girl sinking by slow degrees into the "trust" of the title.

A bold and unflinching look at sexual abuse.

Behind The Lens

Empowering and enlightening. Trust is a film that every parent and teen should see - together.

Assignment X

It is also moving, thoughtful and a lot more insightful than most of the dramas dealing with the issues it tackles.

The main lesson derived from this melodramatic, histrionic mess is that teenagers are idiots.

The predator guy was super annoying. She didn't even like when she found out he was 20. But 25 and really old r ok? And an old guy going after a 14 yo was too weird.

Clive Owen’s character was so annoying. The guy thought he was being helpful. It would have been better if from another perspective.

Directed by former Friends tv star David Schwimmer this would be the last thing you’d expect to make his debut as a filmmaker But it’s very hard hitting This focuses on a 14 year old girl Annie talking to an older man online via chatroom She thinks it’s all innocent and romantic, she’s also surprised learning he’s much older meeting in person It isn’t long though until she’s sexually assaulted by him and one of her friends outs her to the school principal Her parents now have to deal with the fallout working with the authorities to track this man down and arrest him It also takes a long while for Annie to fully understand that this man basically groomed her and did not care for her in the slightest The film focuses less on finding the perpetrator and centers more around the aftermath of the trauma of the crime The father actually gets more focus here than the daughter which is strange And the ending is highly unsatisfactory since nothing gets resolved Schwimmer has good actors but he can’t really keep the tension up for a majority of the running time

It is a decent movie about a young girl of 14 who falls victim to a sexual predator she meets on line and the effects this event has to her and her family. There is no gratuitous nudity or sex scenes. The ending also is clever because there is no perfect resolution. When the final credits are projected the perpetrator has not been caught and instead we see him having a good time with his friends and family
