Plot summary

Julie Wagner has everything today's young woman thinks she wants: a successful husband who adores her, a baby on the way, a close circle of family and friends, and a career as a photographer that is about to take off. So why is she alone in Montauk in the middle of December? During the cold, stark days, Julie throws herself into capturing her artistic vision for an upcoming solo show, yielding works of deep passion and instinct; at night, she restlessly taps away at her computer, plagued by uncertainty about the impending trajectories of her life. When a prickly but brilliant composer-musician knocks on her door with an odd request, Julie ushers in a series of events that will bring her in contact with her buried hopes and fears, and force her to make choices she couldn't have fathomed. At once shocking and wise, In Montauk is a now-familiar story turned inside-out by a main character...

Like watching paint dry

I had high hopes for In Montauk but this is a total non-event. First off the good; the scenery is stunning and it's well shot throughout. There's nothing else going for this title though, the main issue being the lack of any plot as such. The viewer is shown nice scenes of New York (both the state and the city), we watch a couple of subway trains pass, that is the whole train passing. You get the feeling they were playing for time from the start.I don't know what the makers were thinking, but I would hesitate to even call this a movie, it's more of a dreamscape of a photographer. The pictures though are as pointless as everything else here, although of course her 'exhibition' leaves the crowd gaspingThey got the location right but everything else, and I mean everything is wrong.

Technically awful and dragging

What a just dragging waste of time movie. I wanted to give this a chance, I saw it on Plex, saw awards being handed left and right and then I sat down and tried to watch this but to be honest I shouldn't have finished it. It´s a big waste of time with a nothing story and a lot of technically bad camera and editing work.Jules need some space from her husband. She goes to their little apartment by the sea. Here she falls in love with the neighbor.I don't even know where to start here. Maybe with a simple word; amateurish. This movie feels, looks, and acts so amateurish it hurst. There are so many mistakes and things you are taught in film school to not do, present here. It boggles my mind people liked this, maybe if it was a kid making it for a small film festival, I would be more sympathetic, but this is on streaming! It has a seal of approval and I don´t understand why.First of all, the camerawork. While there are some good and beautiful shots here and there, mostly the movie is done with an ugly handheld camera. It adds nothing to the movie and looks terrible. There are so many bad decisions with camera placement for example at the dinner, where only one character can be seen in a three-person conversation. The handheld even gets some documentary vibes in the way where a cameraman rushes to get footage and it makes the movie feel like it´s production was rushed and not cared about.The editing is also terrible. I often criticize movies for having too fast editing but this one has the opposite. It also has some scenes with weird in between shots for no reason and that is cut too fast. But so many scenes are dragged out with absolutely no content. It plays out scenes where people are boarding trains, driving, sitting, looking to an extreme amount. It ads nothing to the movie and just makes the movie feel so long and boring. This movie shouldn't have been an hour long. The editing and the stretching of scenes ads so much wasted time. There also is so many ugly and weird cuts and in between frames. It feels like the movie didn't have enough footage to work with, so it just added whatever it had. The movie is technically not well shot or edited.I really felt the length of this movie. It´s only an hour but I felt like it kept going for ages. I was close to giving it just a little credit to begin with, but then it kept going and going. I just wanted to write it off as an amateurish movie but then it had the audacity to waste more time than it had to.There just isn't enough story here to justify the movies length. It´s just the characters doing the same thing over and over again, not adding anything to the movie. It just wants to take as long as it wants to, showing nothing. The characters just aren't interesting, and the conflict is not interesting. Even the romance is uninteresting. It starts out fine, but then becomes redundant and repetitive. The ending is also terrible, it makes you feel like you just wasted your time, as the movie amounts to nothing.The main character Jules is a terrible human being. She starts out fine and you understand her struggles, but as the movie progress and changes, she becomes a terrible person towards everyone in her life. She really ruined her own life and everyone around hers. It´s a big repetitive and nothing story that is predictable until it takes a direction the movie itself isn't even telegraphing.This is not helped by the bad acting either. While the main character dose fine, the rest of the male cast really can´t act. The delivery is cringe and really read.I found the music fine, but it sounded stuck to me. It nearly sounded too perfect and too much for what was going on. It´s hard to explain but it sounded to clean for the movie and too stuck somehow.Just a huge waste of time. That's how the movie feels. It´s a nothing movie, with a nothing plot, a lot of wasted space and time where nothing happens half the time and the last half is repetitive scenes. This should have been a short film, and even then, it wouldn't be good since it would still be a basic story that then turns into a dumb life destroying drama. The technical aspects don´t help either making an ugly and dragging movie. Stay away from this.

This movie is about the struggles of balancing life and family.

I saw this movie recently at a film festival. The plot was interesting and the characters were extremely real. It was awkward at times which really helped connect to the main characters. The scenery was simple yet beautiful. It was never obvious what would happen next. The photography displayed in the movie was beautiful. I really enjoyed the artistic ties that the main characters had. It gave them a deeper connection to each other. My only complaint is whenever Julie, the main character, is driving the camera is shaky and it made me quite nauseated. Fortunately,that only happened a couple of times and they were brief. I would recommend seeing this movie. I will also check out other Kim Cummings movies in the future.
