Trust (2010)

Way to go, David Schwimmer. This is a terrifying, captivating drama about a young girl and her family as they deal with tragedy. The movie never falls into sentimentality or melodrama. Both the writing and the acting seem completely natural. These characters seem real, and as such, it is heartbreaking to watch them deal with what is happening to them. While this is a horrific story, it may be one of the best dramas I have seen in a long time. 4.5 stars.

Best Part: The scene where she realizes he never really loved her is brilliantly, brilliantly acted. Liana Liberato does a great job with it.
Worst Part: The rape scene is really, really uncomfortable. I mean, it needed to be for the film, but it's still just unpleasant to watch.
Flickchart: #285, below Oliver! and above The NeverEnding Story.
