Review of Montana Story (2022) by Jluis_001 — 02 Jun 2022

Montana Story is an indie film that seems conventional in every way from the start and that's a good and bad thing at the same time.

It has quality craftsmanship. I can't say anything negative about it. The film is pretty well made overall.

However, to what extent can we appreciate a recycling of ideas that risks absolutely nothing?

Montana Story is a movie made to show off the actors work. Especially Haley Lu Richardson, who delivers a strong performance.

The problem is that her good work is inside a film that goes nowhere.

Yes, I repeat, the quality is good, but its entire course since its beginning has been more than defined.

It's so predictable that it doesn't provoke any real emotion and therefore leaves no memorable impression.

The only conclusion the film's plot offers is redemption and you know after the first 10 minutes and I'm telling you, this film doesn't try anything new.

What would have been truly interesting and challenging is if it had tried something else.

I can tell anyone that it's worth a look, but also understanding that this sort of drama has been seen too many times before.
