Herbert Borbe

A family is a difficult and complicated set of relationships. A family is also an important part of a good life. The film "Montana Story" portrays a family that is dealing with the death of a family member, and is also dealing with domestic violence that occurred in the past. The film has a good script, good acting, and majestic scenery.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

More performance art similar to a Play than an actual movie, although the 3rd act wraps everything up nicely.

Opposite of an action movie. Fell asleep 2 times so I subtracted 2 stars. Slow to unfold, and the ending was left to the viewers discretion. Personally, I like movies that actually end.

Introduces an element of finality to the American West...part of a new wave of films that herald the death of the Western.

An intimate story of tragedy and reconnection that is no less riveting than the terrain where it transpires.

This is a reflective, sensitive feature in which the stunning cinematography of stark Montana landscapes compliment the mood and further the accomplishments of the thoughtful performances and story.

Brett McCracken

The Gospel Coalition

Rather than relegating its traumatized characters to a boring arc of unending pain, Montana Story sets the stage for what’s ultimately more interesting: renewal, redemption, and moving on in health.

JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS

Montana Story had very strong performances, instinctual story telling, and very rich emotions when it comes to the subject matter on trauma and guilt. This is very well crafted script and lends itself to this very surprisingly open ended narrative

Rated: 8/10

Celluloid Dreams

A well-worth-seeing domestic drama; more backstory than story, beautifully shot with a pleasant sense of place, sensitively acted and directed.

Rated: 3/4
