After her parents tragically died in a car crash, Lily is adopted and raised by Jeff, the driver of the other car. Jeff's young wife did not survive the accident, and unable to bare the pain of his loss, Jeff becomes a religious lunatic who projects his delusions onto Lily and makes her life a living hell. Looking for an escape, Lily becomes a well known burlesque dancer, losing herself nightly in a world of mystery and passion. Her life seems perfect and carefree, but the physical and emotional abuse she suffers makes it nearly impossible for her to have any kind of personal relationships with men. Everything changes when she meets Nate, a fiery young police officer with a troubled childhood that he can't forget. They fall into an affair that spins out of control, as everything they once believed in beings to change... Will they choose faith or fear?
Leave your thoughts about Trust Me.
| Arizona RepublicRandy CordovaGregg really reaches far, scattering in bits of magical realism and an art-house ending that is simultaneously wondrous and a trifle heavy-handed. The finale may be a bit much for some, but movie buffs will likely give Gregg the benefit of the doubt. |
| Entertainment WeeklyJoe McGovernGregg doesn’t possess the moral rot needed to crawl into the Willy Loman muck, and the film’s dialogue is Glengarry lite, but Saxon Sharbino, as an enigmatic tween actor, is just as the movie claims: the real deal. |
| The DissolveChris KlimekA smart, sardonic, unpredictable morality play that gets the little things right. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThee inside-Hollywood dramedy Trust Me contains so much terrific writing, acting and observation that it becomes a bit easier to forgive writer-director-star Clark Gregg when his ambitions best him during the movie's convoluted last third. |
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerLike a cocky insider, Trust Me touches success only to throw it away on a gamble. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenAs the movie picks up speed and undergoes sudden, confusing plot reversals, it loses its satirical edge. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeHugely entertaining for much of its short running time before a third act that's problematic for various reasons, the film benefits from a top-notch cast and some sharp dialogue but will leave many viewers scratching their heads. |
| Village VoiceErnest HardyThe film isn't as biting as The Player or Swimming with Sharks, and neither Howard's struggles nor Lydia's mystery is a match for the electricity of the supporting actresses in their brief roles. |
| New York PostSara StewartGregg, who previously directed the very dark comedy “Choke,” never quite settles on a tone; from the opening scenes, in which Molly Shannon plays a neurotic stage mom and Allison Janney a chilly casting agent, it seems he’s going that way again, but a dramatic twist sends the film into less plausible territory. |
| The PlaylistGabe ToroBeing played by Gregg himself makes the transition more organic than it was for Rockwell in "Choke," but it still rings false. |
