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.

I really wanted to like this movie. I like Clark Gregg a lot and I think the story here was an interesting tale to tell. I give credit to all the actors especially Saxon Sharbino who delivered a very powerful performance. But this movie was so depressing, crude and left me with nothing positive to say about it. The story was not just sad, it was downright depressing and painful. I was left feeling like I got gut punched. Honestly, solid acting performances all around, but just an awful story.Without giving too much away, the trailer gave me hopes of an underdog story that lifts your spirits. This movie is anything but that. I get that not all movies have to have a happy ending, but this whole film was anything but happy. There are way more gray clouds than silver linings in this thing. Good performances but depressing material.

This movie is very original and interesting. It tells the story of Howard, an agent for child actors who was himself a young child actor who, however, failed to achieve great fame. When he meets Lydia, a very talented young actress, he thinks he has found a possible turning point in his career. Without revealing too much of the plot, the movie begins as a comedy where Howard is a loser with a good heart, who courts for months his beautiful neighbor who even notices it. But going forward the film is colored with a dramatic and noir vein, ending with a dreamy touch. Clark Gregg proves to be a great director and screenwriter but, even more, a great actor. Definitely a movie to watch.

I enjoy any dialog delivered by Clark Gregg even if the film is not a genre in which I would normally invest any time or money.A fascinating, character-driven tragicomedy that showcases Clark Gregg as a capable writer and director and plays to the strengths of every actor. It's the kind of movie that isn't afraid to throw something crazy at you.While "Trust Me" ultimately works better than his earlier film (2008 Sam Rockwell vehicle "Choke,"), it doesn't have too much in the way of pop or polish.It is a small movie, but when it focuses tightly on the characters there are some quite exciting moments to be found.
