After having made her on-screen debut in Game of Thrones at just 14 years old, Sophie Turner has become a mainstay on both TV and in theaters. Turner starred in the show as Sansa Stark for eight seasons, seeing her character evolve from a naive young girl into the Queen in the North.

Even before the series ended in 2019, however, she began branching out into other roles. She starred as Jean Grey in the X-Men theatrical franchise from 2016 to 2019, leading X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men: Dark Phoenix. She also appeared in the budget-friendly Do Revenge as Erica.

After Game of Thrones ended, Turner continued to appear on the small screen as well. She debuted as a voice actor in The Prince as Princess Charlotte, before going on to appear in leading roles in The Staircase, Joan, and the upcoming Steal. Her latest role, however, saw her as a struggling actor, and it is seeing poor results among critics.

Trust Is Struggling To Impress Critics

Released on August 22, Trust sees Turner as actor Lauren Lane. After Lauren’s personal pH๏τos are leaked online, she elects to retreat to her own personal cabin, while hiding from managers, paparazzi, and other industry faces. Her decision infuriates the public, however, and Lauren quickly discovers that she is under siege.

While Turner is the undisputed star, the movie also features Rhys Coiro (Valley of Bones), Forrest Goodluck (Lawmen: Bᴀss Reeves), and Billy Campbell (Bram Stoker’s Dracula). The movie has had limited marketing, and it has not been able to impress critics or audiences early in its run.

Trust has not had a positive impact on its critics, as it has earned a devastating 40% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. Unfortunately, it also lacks a Popcornmeter score, as it has fewer than 50 reviews from audiences. The day after its theatrical debut, that is a worrying sign for a movie that needs positive word-of-mouth.

What This RT Score Means For Trust

There was little hope that Trust could gain much momentum with critics. As ScreenRant‘s Ben Gibbons argued in his review, the movie “makes no sense” narratively and has “precious little to redeem it“. Critics generally praised Turner’s performance, but the other flaws are too prominent to truly ignore.

Even the few positive reviews highlighted the lack of cohesion, the “damsel-in-distress” characterization, and the unoriginal script. No matter how strong the cast is, the critical consensus indicates that this movie is one that audiences should overlook, at least until it debuts on streaming platforms.

Given the lack of any substantial marketing effort behind Trust, this Tomatometer score could be enough to bury the movie shortly after its debut. After all, audiences have little reason to head to theaters when they can instead wait to watch Trust on streaming. With strong horror compeтιтion from Weapons, Turner’s latest movie is likely to struggle.
