Chicago Sun-Times
David Schwimmer has made one of the year's best films: Powerfully emotional, yes, but also very perceptive. - 88
Observer
Despite extremely unpleasant material, he (Schwimmer) coaxes subtle, incredible performances from his cast and builds a tense, arresting narrative. - 80
Boxoffice Magazine
With a sterling cast and an emotionally powerful performance from newcomer Liana Liberato, Trust packs a real dramatic punch. - 70
The New York Times
The mantle of social relevance can be a heavy one, but Trust, a smooth drama about a girl's seduction and rape by a middle-aged Internet predator, is neither preachy nor hysterically overreaching. - 63
Chicago Tribune
His (Schwimmer) film deserves some attention for the remarkable performance from Liana Liberato as Annie. - 60
Village Voice
"Afterschool Special" stuff, but the ensemble rings quite true in their coping processes, as director David Schwimmer proves adept at tracking rogue emotions that no closing "Ordinary People" clench can satisfactorily resolve. - 50
The A.V. Club
With a little tweaking, this easily could have veered into grindhouse exploitation or mindless wish-fulfillment, but Schwimmer's detached, theatrical approach to his material makes it is more cerebral than visceral, and more Steppenwolf Theatre than Charles Bronson. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Unfortunately, this well-acted cautionary tale is hampered by a lack of visual finesse and a script in need of a narrative rethink and a dialogue polish.
