Trust has its own flaws, but it also has that blend of true crime, macabre comedy, the foibles of the rich and famous, and social issues that made The People v. O.J. so addictive. Read full review

These productions are different from, but equal to each other. Neither is an all-timer, but the performances are strong--in particular, Donald Sutherland as the eldest Getty, and Brendan Fraser as a cowboy-styled fixer named Fletcher Chase--and there are enough momentary fascinations to hold the viewer’s interest during slack sections. Both productions are funnier and more engaging than you might expect. Read full review

Trust at times seems about as factually accurate as the “B.C.” comic strip, and Boyle’s visual affectations and his over-reliance on split-screens do not always serve the story well. (He directed the first three episodes.) .. Whatever Trust’s hold on the facts, it more than makes up for in its performances. Read full review

Whereas Plummer’s Getty playfully issued unannounced tests to gauge his peers, Sutherland’s makes it a blunt habit. This cranky old man is less interesting, which makes Trust a tougher sell as a long-term investment. Read full review

Trust has all the trappings of an extraordinary period piece, led mostly by such details that highlight the outrageousness of the economically fortunate. Nevertheless, for all of its zesty pacing and Fraser’s best and largely successful efforts to steal every scene he’s in, there’s some core element of soul and feeling missing from it.

Part of the problem involves having Fraser speak directly to the camera, perhaps intended to be more "Fargo"-esque, but which winds up feeling just plain goofy. Read full review

Collider Chris Cabin

Mar 21, 2018

There’s a vaguely pleasant handsomeness to the series but there’s no imagination and no sense whatsoever why it was important for Boyle or Beaufoy to lend their irrefutable talents to this thorny material. Read full review

The acting, the casting, the writing is suuuperb. How they breakdown each character with out making it over drawn and they didn’t los me once, each episode mad early me want to watch the next one. Every episode was sooo close to the real events. Donald Sutherland is the perfect Getty. Character and story development is so well done. It deserves an award. A must see.… Expand

I am really enjoying Trust, not least because I am fan of Danny Boyle. Some people may poke holes at the relatively loose attention that is paid to the historical accuracy of the script but I think it all works, really well. 21 year old British actor Harris Dickinson is the highlight forI am really enjoying Trust, not least because I am fan of Danny Boyle. Some people may poke holes at the relatively loose attention that is paid to the historical accuracy of the script but I think it all works, really well. 21 year old British actor Harris Dickinson is the highlight for me. He has a young Val Kilmer, The Doors era vibe about him and is captivating. The Memento style flash backs and over stylized cuts could be jarring but fit well with the pacing and the music. Now about to start the first non Danny Boyle directed episode, hopefully I will still be a fan by the end of the season. Either way, definitely worth a watch, its a crazy story about a crazy, rich family with top notch acting and lots of exotic locations.… Expand
