It is winter in Montauk, at the far end of Long Island. There are two deck chairs on the windswept beach. The chairs are waiting for two people who have, for a long time, been lost to each other. He is a writer and has come from Berlin. She is a New York lawyer. Many years before, they had a fling, but they were too young to know they had each met the love of their lives. Now they have come back to Montauk, filled with regret and hope. The bodies remember. It feels for them like the next day after the last one they were together. They do not know if it is possible to reverse time. In Montauk, they find out.
Leave your thoughts about Return to Montauk.
| RTÉ (Ireland)Paddy Kehoe... Return to Montauk is utterly absorbing. |
| Irish TimesDonald ClarkeSadly this Colm Tóibín-assisted effort has none of the warmth of his best work. |
| Film Ireland MagazineStephen PorzioIt's main story-line is a mess, too intellectual to tug at the heart strings and too wordy to accurately capture emotion. |
| indieWireBen CrollWolff cuts a fascinating if frustrating figure, and you wish the film would spend a bit more time teasing out who she is, how she lives, and what she sees in a bore like Max. |
| Cinemanía (Spain)Yago GarcíaVolker Schlöndorff becomes romantic in a small, but sincere film. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Hollywood ReporterDavid Rooney[An] emotionally inert drama about an author trying to reanimate the past. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeThere is also little palpable chemistry between Skarsgard and either of his love interests - making it a challenge to invest in either storyline - which is completely the opposite to Brooklyn, where we couldn't decide which we wanted more. |
| Goethe-Institute Australien MagazineSarah WardRoad to Montauk is warm, soulful but overly familiar; however the universal urge to consider how the past shapes the future anchors this softly filmed account of middle-aged yearning with much-needed sincerity. |
| User ReviewUma VFantastic performances, nuanced sensitive portrayal of feelings, very absorbing, a very well made movie |
