Movie #100 "Trust" is not funny at all, and yet it's billed a comedy, and that's partly why I chose to watch it tonight for my 100th film. I gave it 30 minutes, and all I saw was a bunch of negative people slapping each other, and verbally abusing each other. I don't need to watch that on the screen. Not my cup of tea. Don't bother. The big reason I was watching it was that Adrienne Shelley was in it. I became a fan of hers when I watched "waitress" (she was the sidekick and had written the film). At the time "Waitress" came out, I was also saddened in reading about her early death. I am sorry such a young talent is gone now, but this can't be one of her finer efforts. I think I saw that already in "Waitress."
Average rating: 3.62
I gave it one star
Trust
(1990) R
Maria (Adrienne Shelly), a Long Island high schooler, is having a thoroughly bad time. Her father's dead from a heart attack, partly caused by a slap Maria delivers after he goes ballistic when she admits she's pregnant. Plus, her boyfriend is MIA. Enter grenade-toting electronics whiz Matthew (Martin Donovan), who may be her meant-to-be. Hal Hartley's achingly honest film pairs two misfits in a strange tale of love, hope and redemption.
