Trust in Love

Reminded me of The Replacements record Don't Tell a Soul-at times...funny, emotional, familiar, dark, loud, chaotic, thought provoking and hopeful. If it sounds like a lot for one movie, it kinda was. They probably had enough story for three movies so it's worth watching a few times. I understand the film is semi autobiographical which would explain why the filmmaker was compelled to say so much at once. While the story line seems a little busy, it also feels honest and real.

Before this, Tim Hazelip, who plays the main characters brother, had never acted before. No drama club, no commercials, he wasn't even an extra. Contrast that with Eric Roberts who has made well over 700 movies. You end up with a lot of texture and a likable, capable cast.

The shots are pretty, the production appears sharp but not slick.

It was as good as or better than 60% of the big budget Hollywood films I've seen so it gets 7 stars.

"Trust in Love" is an incredibly important film, especially for families like mine. Watching the story of a young man coming out really resonated with me, as my daughter came not long ago. The emotions in this movie are real-it's like they captured the emotions we went through as a family. The film does a beautiful job of showing the complexities of love, acceptance, and understanding. The movie also sparked important conversations that other families can benefit from. We all felt connected to different parts of the story for different reasons. As a mother, I was touched to see the father's journey from confusion to unconditional support. It's a reminder that, as parents, the love for our children should always be stronger than our fears. I highly recommend this one.

Just saw this film in an early screening in NYC. I really enjoyed the father/son relationship. Mickey knew he didn't have the experience that he could relate to his son but he resourcefully found someone who could identify personally. That is even better than trying to do it himself, in my opinion. The characters are really likeable - even the ones doing things that are wrong. The peek into the music business is pretty realistic too - especially the young people on their cel phones in the studio. The acting wasn't overdone - it was just right. Not a lot of names I knew, but I'm sure we will hear more from all of them in the future.

The relationship between the father and son felt so real and tender and it reminded me of the ups and downs of raising a boy into a man. The movie captures moments of vulnerability and strength that define any family. The performances were heartfelt and Trust In Love doesn't shy away from the tough parts of love.

What stood out to me the most was how the story emphasizes the importance of healing and communication within a family. It's a film that encourages reflection and offers comfort to those going through difficult times. I'd definitely recommend this movie to other families. It's a powerful reminder of the bonds that hold us together, even when life gets challenging.

"Trust in Love" is a poignant and heartwarming film that reminds us of the essential role that trust plays in forming, maintaining and nurturing relationships within a family structure.

The movie emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and second chances in the context of trust. The movie delves into the idea that trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. Without trust, a relationship cannot thrive or grow. The rocky relationship between the parents and the complexity of growing teenagers living in a complex world while dad is juggling a struggling music career in a new administration of the entertainment business is a new learning curve for dad. What's more important his band or his family? Eric Roberts is great and Robby Krieger from The Doors was a pleasant surprise. The acting was great, shot mostly in Malibu Ca. The laughs are plentiful. Go watch it its a good one.
