Too much of everything
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I watched this for a second time after watching it when it first came out. I only remembered bits and pieces but not the ending. The whole movie is ruined by a "lack of an ending". There are so many movies made like this in the last ten years or so it is a waste of time watching them. You have to kind of guess what might or might not have happened. I just wasted another two hours of my life!!
Trust feels like a mixture of a documentary and drama...Annie is a teenage girl who seems a bit outcasted but finds a connection with another teenage boy online...who is actually practically twice her age...as his lies unfold when they meet things take a turn for the worst...Annie is then raped and believes it's just an agape love intercourse...as time goes on and the FBI looking for this man who has used other girls around her age or younger reality hit home...Annie then breaks down and later finds her face photoshopped on an image two people having sex doggy style at school...she heads back home and slips past her dad and overdoses on a medication...she recovers but the ending doesn't show that the man who raped her is found...The nine star rating is true...having a daughter of my own this is a real eye opener of the dangers of internet chatting and what can happen as time goes on...I would say parents show this film to your daughters when they begin to chat online more often...without being careful God forbid something similar happen to them...Excellent movie acting needs a little work but the message is what makes this movie worth seeing...
A teenage girl (Liana Liberato) is targeted by an online sexual predator (David Schwimmer).What makes this story great is how real it is, how emotional, and to some degrees how gritty. It is not like the sort of sob story you might see on Lifetime, but something that may be real. We have Clive Owen torn between sexualizing people and the protection of his own daughter. He never actually sexualizes, of course, but we see the temptation is there and it is one his business partner freely accepts.And that is the beauty of the story. It is not just the story of a young girl and her dealing with what happens to her. It is also a critique of society at large. We can condemn a man who preys on children over the Internet, and at the same time live in a society that sees women as sex objects and sells clothes by using models who do not wear any...
The definitive Hollywood cautionary tale remains the 1936 production of Reefer Madness which, in common with this film, was produced to make a point.Don't laugh -- the number of IMDb members who have rated Reefer Madness to date is about 6,000. This is not a film which has suffered the ignominy of obscurity.Schwimmer meant well. You can see it in the writing, the casting and the direction. But meaning well and producing a good film do not always go hand in hand, especially when you are really teaching the viewer, not entertaining him.Truth is, the film does not come alive until the 1:20 mark when Liana Liberato, who really was 14 at time of shooting, gives not only the outstanding performance of the movie but a performance that dwarfs the efforts of Owen and Keener who, frankly, seem uncomfortable with the script. This is the same Liberato who would later shine in BEST OF ME.The ending, the last 120 seconds, is clever and resonates with some of the camera work in Tony Curtis's portrayal of The Boston Strangler.Bottom line: could have been much worse.
