Kristen Lazarian’s filmography might not be the longest list you’ve seen, but it’s definitely got range. Trust me, her work in “Trust” (2021) is this tangled web of relationships and secrets, and honestly, it’s got enough juicy drama to keep you glued to the screen. It’s one of those movies where you think you know what’s happening, but then—bam—someone does something wild, and you’re left questioning everyone’s motives. People cheat, they lie, they try to get away with stuff. There’s art, there’s love triangles, and there’s this lingering question: who can you actually trust? No easy answers here. Then you’ve got “My Penguin Friend” (2024), which, let’s be real, is a total 180. This one’s way softer around the edges—a heartwarming family flick about an unexpected friendship between a lonely kid and, you guessed it, a penguin. Not your average pet, huh? Set against gorgeous seaside landscapes, the story’s packed with moments that tug at your heartstrings without ever getting too sappy. It’s about connection, a bit of adventure, and learning to open up again. Kids and adults both get something out of it, which is kinda rare. Don’t sleep on “My Greatest Teacher” (2012) either. It dives into those big mentor-student vibes, focusing on second chances and how a great teacher can totally flip your world upside down. It’s raw, sometimes bittersweet, but always honest. Lazarian nails those real-life moments when someone believes in you, even when you’ve pretty much given up on yourself.
