Trust (1990) - Cult Film Index Review

Directed and written by Hal Hartley, Trust (1990) is a defining work of early American independent cinema and the second entry in Hartley’s informal Long Island trilogy, following The Unbelievable Truth (1989). Produced on a small budget and filmed on Long Island, the movie further established Hartley’s distinctive voice, one built on stylized dialogue, philosophical deadpan humor, and emotionally vulnerable characters navigating ordinary suburban landscapes. The story starts when Maria Coughlin, a young high school dropout, announces to her parents that she is pregnant. The revelation causes her father to collapse and die from shock, and Maria is soon thrown out of her home by her mother. Wandering through a quiet Long Island town, she encounters Matthew Slaughter, an intensely intelligent but socially volatile electronics repairman whose own life is marked by alienation and unresolved anger. As the two outsiders form an unlikely connection, their relationship evolves into something deeper, built less on romance than on shared isolation and mutual understanding.
