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.

Wittrock’s performance as the rather hard-to-like Thomas is acute; he’s a callow guy who mistakenly wagers that art can exorcise his demons even as he desperately skirts the prospect of making amends.

This charismatic actor holds the camera effortlessly, and it’s good to see him again in a leading role onscreen, even if the film turns out to be disappointingly thin.

A stilted, dreary drama about a guy coming to terms with his past that says little we’ve not heard before, and more compellingly told.

For a film so ostensibly questioning of the psychology of a pariah, Nilsson doesn’t seem to have as much on his mind as an intimate character study about grief warrants.

The movie-within-the-movie is a statement on truth and fiction, and, interestingly, that idea carries over to the film proper, allowing us to wrestle with the blurred lines.

Anchored by a nuanced lead performance from Finn Wittrock, the sometimes-jumbled Westhampton is a well-acted drama about a filmmaker who goes back to his hometown and experiences backlash for making a movie based on a tragedy that he caused.

Clunky script & wooden acting makes it a total bore. Add in bad direction & awkward pacing & everything feels really amateurish like watching a student movie only I paid good money to see it. Epic fail of a snoozer movie. Only fun scene is school scene where cop keeps beating up main character; fitting since he is so unlikeable with no redeeming quality. Awful title, gives town a bad name with this stinker of a movie.

I'm not sure what the point of the movie was. It was very slow, and the ending was senseless. The lead character played by Finn Witrock did an excellent job with a boring and meandering script. The movie was confusing and just plain boring. There are better options to waste 90 minutes.
