Trust (2010)
Infrequent coarse language and themes
| Director: | David Schwimmer |
| Actors: | Clive Owen, Catherine Keener, Liana Liberato, Jason Clarke, Viola Davis, Noah Emmerich, Chris Henry Coffey |
Safe and sound in their suburban home, Will and Lynn Cameron used to sleep well at night trusting their children were protected. Will in particular was comforted by the fact that he and Lynn raised three bright children and that once the doors were locked and the alarm was set nothing, absolutely nothing, was going to harm his family. When his 14-year-old daughter Annie made a new friend online - a 16 year old boy named Charlie whom she met in a volleyball chat room - Will and Lynn didn't think much of it. They discussed his friendship with her assuming that this is normal with teenagers who connect through the Internet. After weeks of communicating online Annie becomes enraptured by Charlie and finds herself drawn to him more and more. Slowly she learns he is not who he claims to be; yet Annie remains intrigued by Charlie even as the truth about him is uncovered. The devastating revelation reverberates through her entire family setting in motion a chain of events that will forever change their lives in ways that no one could have ever predicted.

As social workers we found this really hard to watch and could not sit through it...not what we want to watch for entertainment!

A movie all parents and adolescents should watch. So many are not aware of the dangers of such sites as 'facebook" etc Excellent movie

A harrowing & deeply troubling movie that should be mandatory viewing for all parents & young teens venturing into the net chat rooms. All cast are excellent, especially the young girl (the victim) & her parents. Of particular note is Viola Davis as Gail Friedman, the psychiatrist/counsellor, a remarkable actress who underplays her role but is so powerful - as she was as Mrs. Miller in "Doubt". Both of these films are subtle yet brilliant. Don't miss them. 5 stars!!

well worth watching, especially if you have teens in your home. Scarey how easy these preditors are able to get access to our children thru the internet and how quiet are their " fingersteps".

great movie with a current issue in todays society! If you have young children, i suggest you get them to watch it tbh... aspecially if they engage in internet chat and texting... Prolly 14
It will open your and THEIR eyes about the dangers lingering in the unknown cyberspace and may make them think twice before they hook up withthhat "17 year old" they met online....
I didnt like the end, although, that ending IS reality.... A must watch for any parent!!!!

Wow. I was surprised by how excellent this movie was, it caught me off-guard.
A film that should be shown to all junior-primary students to warn them of the dangers of 'harmless' internet friendships.
The movie was all the more compelling because of its no-frills portrayal of the story.
Without all the hollywood-style drama, you believed it could be your daughter, or your family.
Really excellent.
says
A gripping story of inocents that leads to nearly breaking up the closely knit family. Fantastic acting particularly by the young teenage girl. The moral is "Trust your children" if you love them.

Josh
says
It really does make you think twice about people on the internet. I don't think it's that strong in regards to its plot, but the message hits you like a ton of bricks.

I watched this with my cousin and mum and by the end all three of us were moved to tears. There were parts that were very hard hitting and we wanted to turn it off but but we were to engrossed in the acting and the story. A must see for any parent and teenager on the internet.

kept me watching(not many can), very REAL to today and how easy (scary) it happens, real eye opener. A must watch for all parents, and not a parent but really thought it was a well done movie, with powerful acting.
Anthony

Every parent with young teenagers should sit down and watch this with their kids
JS
says
Very scary movie, it is hard to believe that there are scum out there like that who play on teenagers emotions.

Disturbing! Didn't enjoy it at all.
Jill

Totalling engrossing story from start to finish. Highly recommend especially to families with young teenagers - would be a great movie to watch together and discuss. Very believable.
Phil
says
Didn't go where I thought it will therefore it was a real surprise to watch it. The storyline is realistic and the characters also are. Great effort from Clive Owen as always.

Darren
says
Gees, such a powerful performance by all, Can so connecdt with Clive Owens character as I have a young girl.......
The ending just blew me away.....Great movie to have your kids watch and understand.....
David Schwimmer done a great job directing...
stuart
says
good movie and quite realistic. the young girl wasn't a "victim" - didn't even get that anything had happened for some time
Faye
says
Sad and shocking movie that is all too relevant in today's society. Very emotive storyline and well acted by the father and daughter. Must see for parents with teenagers...
Jasmine
says
This is a tough film to watch - some scenes are uncomfortable to say the least - but I think it is an important film. The acting is incredible and it feels so, so real. I think this is a must see for all parents of teenagers.

I didn't really expect this film to be so grueling and so utterly gripping. I was expecting something more obvious. The young girl who plays the lead was astonishingly good, and Clive Owen actually brought me to tears in the scene at the end, sitting by the pool. (And I don't cry at movies very often!). I hadn't realised that David Schwimmer directed it until the credits came up at the end - he has done a superb job with a very difficult subject. I am so pleased to see him having such success with directing. Five stars!
Cass
says
Very relevant to today's society. I'd suggest that all parents watch it, but not when you are in the mood for something fun and lighthearted!
Kowal
says
I am horrified that there is such a huge internet predator sub-culture.
chali
says
A flop. Very obvious storyline, average acting and a very straightforward, non-ingenious coverage of a disturbing topic. Sorry David Schwimmer - you were much better at being Ross that being a director.

this film was gripping and scary for kids today. Parents should watch this film. Owen was very believeable as the distraught father. The girl who played his daughter was excellent. 4 stars for me.
Cindy
says
It's the shades of grey and moments of moral ambiguity that provide the real emotional punches in this often intense and highly emotive film. An ensemble vast are all outstanding, with Liana Liberato entirely believable in a very demanding role that could have so easily lapsed into melodrama. Trust takes its cautionary tale role a little too literally on occasions and when it does, the narrative begins to feel more like a lecture we're expected to pay careful attention to for our own good. That aside, this is a mostly intelligent exploration of a very difficult subject.
Susan
says
A great flick. A must watch for every parent and teenager.
Nomes
says
Well worth a viewing
Patrick
says
Well acted and believable. The daughter's, mother's and father's reactions to the situation raised all the issues that would occur. The film was well researched and therefore emotive.
diane
says
kimbo and kath others like myself havent seen it yet so dont reveal what its all about and ruin it for everyone else just give your thoughts on the movie but dont give the plot away its unfair to other watchers who havent seen it yet.
Purplesue
says
A real thought provoking movie - just a shame Clive Owen's character as the father was sooo annoying! I agree with all the other reviews here - a must see for all families with teenage girls.
cw
says
Great movie very current topic. Suggest all parents with young girls watch this.
sue
says
That is a shock how it happens.
rich
says
Great movie great topic one for parents to watch
Dawn
says
Fantastic movie. Quite harrowing to watch as a parent and very thought-provoking. Some bits I found a bit hard to believe and any kids watching (hopefully well over 15) they'll tell you that it's something that would never happen to them/you! It's one of those cautionary tales, thankfully with an ok ending. Everyone damaged but in tact.
Johno
says
Why do reviewers see the need to divulge the story line, well now thanks to Kimbo and Kath I don't need to see it ?
Lynda
says
Great movie. All teenagers should watch. Recommend.
Robin
says
Intense and confronting. Well worth watching just for the eye opening factor.
Kristy
says
Great movie, but ending was very disapointing..
kimbo
says
A teenage girl is targeted by an online sexual predator. This movie made so angry that there is scum out doing this. The two outstanding performers in this film are Liana Liberato who is wonderful as the victim and Chris Henry Coffey who plays the predator. You just want to kill this bloke. Every girl under the age of 15 should watch this. Excellent
Kath
says
The storyline in this movie is extremely relevant today. I did enjoy really this movie - at first I didnt like that there was no "ending" and I felt like the story was left hanging...BUT this is how these situations probably are in reality. I imagine there would never be an ending to these stories for the victims and their families and there will more than likely never been an end to sick minded perverts preying in the young and vulnerable onilne.
Jemma
says
Very good and interesting movie. Happy with it but I felt like it didn't end.
sean

Kerrigan
says
Highly relevant in this day and age, exposing the dangers of online friendships, relationships and supposedly innocent chats. Great message for parents and teenagers alike. Would have preferred an alternate ending though overall a very good movie and fully worth your time watching.
