Trust

Confidenza, released abroad as Trust (2024), is an Italian psychological thriller by Daniele Luchetti that you can watch online on iFILM. Pietro, a respected teacher, falls into a stormy secret affair with his gifted student Teresa. After one bitter fight, she proposes a pact: each confesses a secret shameful enough to ruin them if it ever got out.

Years go by. Pietro becomes a celebrated writer with a wife, children and a comfortable bourgeois life. Yet the secret hangs over him like a loaded gun — what if Teresa walks back in one day and shatters everything with a single sentence? Elio Germano plays a man slowly eaten alive by his own dread, with Federica Rosellini, Vittoria Puccini and Isabella Ferrari alongside him.

Luchetti adapted the film from Domenico Starnone's novel, and the uneasy score comes from Radiohead's Thom Yorke, whose icy soundscapes tighten the screws far better than any scream. Made for viewers who like tension that builds from the inside. Stream Confidenza (2024) online on iFILM.
