- Synopsis
- When high school dropout Maria Coughlin announces her pregnancy to her parents, her father drops dead on the floor. Her mother kicks her out of the house and her boyfriend dumps her, so Maria is left alone and homeless. This is when she meets Matthew Slaughter. Matthew is an educated high school graduate with a great talent for fixing electronic devices, but he can't hang on to a job because of his principled attitude towards quality. When Maria accepts Matthew's offer to help her, they begin to form a relationship with each other in which both of them begin to change.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Hartley's spare dialogue cuts right to the characters' psyches; his terse, laconic style accentuates the everyday horror."
-
"Within its small, darkly funny range, Trust is an exceptional film that stays alert to the mysteries of love."
-
"It's a little precious and a little boring, but he has brought out an interesting performance from Adrienne Shelly, who convincingly pulls off a transformation from aimless pregnant teenager to purposeful young woman."
-
"Though Mr. Hartley's films are richly detailed, there are no frills or grace notes. Such work risks being too blunt, but Trust comes through."
-
"Hartley has such a spare, controlled touch in this film that this landscape seems both realistic and fantastic. "
-
"Trust never seems dated and, as a youth film, it may even be usefully pedagogic"
-
"Trust is stylishly photographed and crammed with quirky, offbeat incidents and dialogue."
