Her British father Will Clive Owen is a marketing executive — ironically, catering to the market for sexy teen fashions exploited by the notorious American Apparel retail chain. Her mother Lynn Catherine Keener is sensible and loving.
The marriage is healthy. What Annie desperately needs is privacy and space. What she gets is an intrusive FBI investigation, brutal gossip at high school, cruel jokes played on the Internet, and the destruction of the idealized vision of Charlie she clings to. He becomes obsessed with the FBI investigation, wants personal vengeance against the predator, gets involved in unwise ways. In a crushing scene where his anger leaps out of control, he has the effect of humiliating Annie before hundreds of her classmates.
Annie will survive, but has been damaged perhaps more by the aftermath than by the rape itself. The movie is merciless in depicting the methods by which pedophile predators operate; Charlie is the embodiment of evil. It is all too tortuous and complicated. Liana Liberato does such a poignant job of showing how, and why. Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from until his death in In , he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.
Rated R for disturbing material involving the rape of a teen, language, sexual content and some violence. Catherine Keener as Lynn Cameron. Clive Owen as Will Cameron. Liana Liberato as Annie. Chris Henry Coffey as Charlie.
Viola Davis as Psychiatrist. Charlie is 16, lives in California, and, just like Annie, plays volleyball. To anyone with a fourth grade education this should sound like a huge red flag, but Annie doesn't doubt anything Charlie says. Annie and Charlie decide to meet up at a mall surprise: he's not 16 , where he ends up luring her to a hotel room and sexually assaulting her. She later refuses to admit that it was rape and lashes out at her family and friends who worry for her. She is violently in denial, claiming she and Charlie love each other and nobody else understands their relationship.
This may be the realistic way to handle a topic this controversial in a movie, but it definitely does not work well for the story, and she becomes increasingly frustrating as she lashes out at her family and friends who worry for her. Meanwhile her father Will Clive Owen decides to take the law into his own hands by attempting to track down Charlie himself. Both Liana Liberato and Clive Owen give great performances as characters that walk a fine like between being believable and being completely unreasonable.
I can't say I was a huge fan of the script or characters, but both of them did the best they could do with the script they were given. There are occasional moments of levity that are admittedly pretty funny, but for the most part this is a movie that takes itself very seriously. Emotions run high in Annie's family for just about the entire movie, and the story isn't exactly cheery or upbeat. The ending is just as dark, if not darker, than the rest of the movie, but it definitely takes a pretty big risk by deviating from the expected conclusion.
The plot takes some frustrating turns in an effort to appear more realistic, but Trust is bolstered by strong performances from Liana Liberato and Clive Owen as well as an unexpected conclusion to the story. Joey S Super Reviewer. Nov 10, I thought I was going to hate this movie at first, but I was wrong. Trust was a very good film with a good subject matter and talented cast.
I enjoyed sitting through the whole movie without feeling disappointed or anything. It kept me awake because of how important the premise was. This movie may not be perfect, but this is one of those movies where it contains a very important subject matter that everybody should know about. This also proves how talented Clive Owen and Catherine Keener are.
After receiving a new laptop as a birthday gift, a naive teenager, Annie Liana Liberato , spends most of her time online chatting with a mysterious guy named Charlie Chris Henry Coffey , whom she thinks he's nice and friendly.
She wishes to see him in person, and they agreed to meet each other at a mall. Things get pretty ugly when they finally met up, when Charlie wasn't the guy she expected him to be, considering that he looks thirty after he said he was 16, and then 20 later on.
After he sexually assaults her, things change for the worse when her parents finds out about it, especially Will Clive Owen , who is desperately wants to find Charlie and kill him, but it's a very difficult task to accomplish.
The plot of this film was easy to follow, and it actually pulled an important subject matter pretty well. This movie makes you want to be a little careful who you talk to and what you do on the computer. It goes to show how dangerous online dating and social networks can be. The problem that I have with this film was the ending.
When the credits starts rolling, you will find yourself feeling puzzled and be like "that's it? However, not all movies should have good endings in order to be good, so I can't complain about that. The problem that I have with the plot is there are some of the questions that were unanswered, and the ending could have been better, but it was good for what it was. The cast did a good job with their characters, and they were one of the best things about this movie.
It is been a while since I've seen him in a big movie, and he even knows how to make an independent film like this good. Can't wait to see him in the next Sin City movie if it will really comes up. I've never been a fan of Catherine Keener, but she did pretty good here. She proved to me how good she was in The 40 Year Old Virgin, and it was like she copied her talents from there and paste it into here, which was a good thing.
Liana Liberato did a good job without being annoying like most of the other young actress, so I give kudos to her. What a surprising performance she made. Everyone did their job well and made their characters memorable and relatable. Trust, although not a perfect movie, is an important movie that should be seen by anyone who spends most of their times surfing on the internet.
It is also for people who approaches the wrong people in the real world who are so hard to read. What I mean is that it can be hard to read people's behavior because some people don't show their emotions, and some do, but they may not be as real as you may think it is. Because these things still happen, Trust is very relevant in the today's society. The story is very easy to pick up, but it feels like a few things are missing.
I hate it when filmmakers make movies, and then we find ourselves feeling lost in a long run. All and all, it doesn't stop the movie from being the best movie ever with a good premise, script, and acting. It's better than most of the materials that Hollywood currently puts out. Giovanni C Super Reviewer. See all Audience reviews. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie. Best Horror Movies. Worst Superhero Movies. Best Netflix Series and Shows.
Go back. More trailers. Dexter: New Blood: Season 1. The Shrink Next Door: Season 1. No Score Yet. Yellowstone: Season 4. Blade Runner: Black Lotus: Season 1. There are worries that come with that because of the way they are relating.
So I think the subject of children relating through the internet is a very big deal. Not generally a huge fan of Catherine Keener, but here as Lynn, she wins me over. As with Owen, Kenner has an intensity that just soars with the emotional spiral that is taken when their lives are turned upside down. Very powerful and heart-wrenching performance. And talk about excellence — Liana Liberato gives an extremely powerful dramatic performance as Annie.
But here, as Annie — what she brings to the role and what Schwimmer elicits from her — is astounding. The gravitas that she brings to Annie, especially in a climactic scene with counselor Gail Friedman played by the incredible Viola Davis, will find yourself grabbing your own heart, feeling the pain and shame that Liberato conveys.
But she is also easily able to give you the flip side of an average American 14 year old who studies hard, has loyal friends, a great relationship with her parents and siblings, outside activities — and is happy, happy, happy. She perfectly conveys the envelope pushing each of us has done with our parents in our teen years, not to mention the internal excitement and rush one gets when putting one over on mom and dad.
Liberato is no flash in the pan. This kid has chops. Important to Schwimmer was casting an age appropriate actress for the role. That is who she is. It was really important in the casting process, we decided as a group that Liana was the right person for the job. Not only because of her talent, but because of who she is as a person.
Her very presence is healing and grounded. And I have to say, Chris Coffey plays a sleazy slime like Charlie really well. Nice double edged work going on. You can hear the oil oozing from his voice every time he speaks to Annie which, as adults, we hear the insincerity.
But then put yourself in the shoes of an impressionable 14 years old girl and his words are the stuff of which fantasies are made.
