A filmmaker returning to his hometown for the first time in a decade, carrying the weight of an accident he caused and hurt that hasn't healed. Moving between the present and the indie film he once made about the tragedy, we explore how his version of events differs from what actually occurred, and the lingering toll of that revision. Intimate and emotionally direct, Westhampton is a coming-of-age drama about coming home, the stories we tell, and the difficult quest for accountability when the person harmed is no longer here to forgive.

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. Go to Full Review

Wittrock is at the center of it all, and he gives one of the best performances in his filmography. ... That’s another great thing about Westhampton: it never attempts to simplify things that are so inherently messy, they don’t really have neat solutions. Go to Full Review

Wittrock has never been better, playing a part that is in stride with the actor's typical roles, while bringing his own mixture of ferocity, regret, and a profound sense of longing for simpler times or perhaps times where his wrongdoings don't exist. Go to Full Review
