A difficult but unusual movie about the movie industry itself. You don't see many of those around, especially if they show all the cynicism and pull-the-rug-from-under-your-feet that goes on.A comedy? Who had the bright idea to call this a comedy just because of some smart punch lines here and there. The script is good, maybe the best part of "Trust Me", together with the acting and directing. It's not an entertaining movie, considering the naive main character, played superbly by Clark Gregg, who really had guts to take the part of a loser, yet... well I don't want to spoil the rest. Nevertheless, he is the writer and director of the movie, so I guess he knew what he was doing and he did a good job.There should be more movies like this,clean, hitting a hard theme, yet not leaving you wondering. Watch out for Saxon Sharbino, she may be the next star.

Not knowing anything about this film I watched this on a lonely evening while I was recovering from a painful dental procedure. At first I thought the film was going to be the same old story I have seen dozens of times. It was not. Yes the same type of story has been told. However, not as surprisingly well as Trust Me created. Clark Gregg wrote a powerful, sweet, tight story that touched my heart and caused me to feel wonder, empathy, anger, sadness and joy. Clark Gregg portrayed the lead with truth and dignity. His talent is impressive and every actor in the film was just as intriguing. From Felicity Huffman to the young Saxon Sharbino's enchanting performance of a strong adolescent with soulful ageless wisdom of greatness that only a shrewd surviver knows. Multilayered and talented played with ease and grace. Even William Macy's bit part was phenomenal. Seeing Amanda Peet was a great bonus. Not to forget Niecy Nash who is always right on cue. Maybe the film caught me by surprise. It was a great one and just what I needed. I loved the film and will defiantly watch it over and over. This will be one of my go to movies. Great work! The film warmed my heart. All of the dialogue and every scene moved the plot forward. There was no over the top meaningless dialogue, no over acting, or self indulgent BS. This film deserves credit--bravo!

I noticed about two dozen movies on PPV and chose to watch this one first. I had a good feeling about it. I was extremely impressed with the entire film...acting, direction, writing, production. It is most interesting and very low key. It is a very human film with lots of emotion. There are some trans personal or spiritual surprises. Clark Gregg is the star and he is one of my favorite actors. This film is one of his best or best performances. Mr. Gregg also wrote the film and directed it. I am sure the film was a labor of love for him. I also enjoyed the dramatization of Hollywood business deal making which is depicted in the movie and I thought really well. I would strongly recommend this movie to one and all. I was in tears at the end. Thank you Mr. Gregg. You were wonderful as the lead star and loved your whole concept plus the writing.

We're born into this world alone. In the in-between there's, usually, a whole series of bonds that enriches and builds us into who we become. Enter the strange world of child actors. In that world if one experiences a degree of success everyone wants to celebrate you. The only problem is child actors are a kind of disposable asset. They give up so much of themselves as they ascend the heights, but that almost never lasts; instead a sort of Machiavellian trade-off ensues. Instead of a continuance of a fantastic future comes one loss after another. The greatest of which can be a sort of isolation where further success is always just around the corner yet rarely found. A sad isolation becomes reality. The question becomes how to find salvation before the inevitable end.More or less, this is the setup for the movie "Trust Me". Clark Gregg plays Howard a middle- aged struggling adolescent talent agent. Howard has never found continued success, but that doesn't stop him from trying. He's desperate and he has a kind of foot in the door, but he is his own worst enemy and almost, in his desperation, attracts failure. As the story begins he loses his best prospect almost totally due to his inability to cloak his neediness. Howard practically begs to be crushed and Gregg brings it 100% as far as realism and believability is concerned. I mean the guy wrote and directed a masterpiece and then brought it to life by starring in it. This is like the best example of an almost otherworldly talent which I only slightly noticed heretofore nailing it Academy Award style in one fell swoop. Already I will gladly go out on a limb and say best actor and director with confidence. Saxon Sharbino is almost as likely for best supporting actress. The adjunct supporting cast is also first rate. This, simply, is already the must see movie of the year and deserves the whole enchilada. Brilliant filmmaking!
