There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“TRUST confirms Hartley’s promise as a gifted comic mannerist … Within its small, darkly funny range, it is an exceptional film that stays alert to the mysteries of love.”
—Rolling Stone

Two misfits in love: a pregnant high school dropout (Adrienne Shelly) falls for a “dangerous but sincere” electronics genius (Martin Donovan) who walks through life carrying a hand grenade. An essential ‘90s American Indie. In 35mm.
