Trust

David Schwimmer's makes his directorial debut with a sober, emotional and intelligently handled film about the rape of a 14 year old girl and the effects it has on her and her family. Trust explores the many forms of victimhood, family relations and the role of the Internet, advertising and high school politics in a dark and honest way. At times Trust seems to flirt with cliche, but what keeps it from falling over the edge and into Lifetime movie territory is the brutal, complex and sensitive performances of Clive Owen, Catherine Keener and, especially, Liana Liberato. What they put into Trust will leave you squirming during the film and contemplating it long after it's over. I can't recommend this film enough.
