Audience Reviews for Trust

    Likely my favourite of the Hal Hartley's. It is an unlikely pairing of two lost souls and Donovan and Shelly prove up to the task.

    I remember seeing this film on the IFC channel many years ago and it really struck a chord with me. It had small bits of dark humor mixed in with the seriousness of this movie that kept it very interesting. I loved how you would always see minor characters in a group setting. Well acted movie as Adrienne Shelly(RIP) was awesome as was Martin Donovan. Can't understand why Donovan can't get more roles. Really a great and enjoyable movie.

    Watched this many, many times over the years. My first Hal Hartley film, and one of my favourites. Adrienne Shelley and Martin Donovan are both perfect in their roles. I just love the style and the understated way the movie is written. Fantastic.

    I saw this movie a while back on IFC and I really liked it. This movie is quirky and the dialogue is great.
