Synopsis

Haunted by an accident he caused in high school, a filmmaker is drawn back to his hometown where he is confronted by former friends and a community that disdains him as he tries to find peace with the hurt he left behind.

Moviegoers are saying

Christian Nilsson's 'Westhampton' emerges as a contemplative indie gem that captivates festival audiences with its meta-narrative about a filmmaker confronting his past through autobiographical storytelling. Despite polarizing pacing, Finn Wittrock's career-defining performance and the film's innovative intercutting between present-day drama and the protagonist's own film-within-a-film creates a uniquely layered experience that lingers long after viewing.

Empathetic of it's lead while still keeping enough of a distance to not drown him in forgiveness. I really liked the "twist" around the middle, but I'm not the biggest fan of how the character associated with that twist ended up approaching Tom. This contradicts my previous…

A very introspective and powerful film that has a lot of interesting things to say about the art of filmmaking and the autobiographical nature of the process that can come up. It’s slow paced but never boring as that pacing works perfectly for this story, the character work…

I felt this was a thoughtful and layered portrayal of the psychology of the stories we tell ourselves, the reimagined narratives we create that cast us as the hero or the victim, and what happens when those stories are challenged with reality. It takes a real skill and…

Pleasantly surprised from how profound this subdued and very quiet film turned out to be. I really didn’t know much going in, but I would have never guessed that its charm would come from capturing the beautiful stillness of a small town like Westhampton, New York. These…
