Beautiful rural decay

Jess (Sarah Hagan) and Moss (Austin Vickers) are second cousins. Their parents were best of friends. They spend their summers together. She likes to draw. They wonder aimlessly through the tobacco fields and abandoned buildings of Kentucky.This film looks beautiful with a degraded feel of the rural decay. It's not just the rural locations, or the rundown junk. It's the low grade film and the way it's shot. There isn't much of a story as the movie meanders from one scene to the next. Sometimes there are no rhyme or reason. It's a just a series of scenes. It does turn a little bit disturbing. In the end, it's a very fascinating little movie. It's a lazy endless summer captured on film.

Reviewer's Dilemma

Every now and then a one-of-a-kind film comes along which breaks the mould.This is such a film. And frankly since I am adding this review several years after the release, I will confess I enjoyed the handful of reviews already left here on the IMDb because the writers clearly tried to impart the joy they felt while viewing. That too is rare.My only quibble is with the earlier comment that this is "not" an experimental film.That may be under-stating the obvious.Up until Jess + Moss, in spite of my many reviews on the IMDb, I was not convinced it was even possible to create a film which is more visual montage (like a scrapbook) than linear narrative, and still have it connect with the viewer.This film proves I was wrong. I remember years ago Hollywood took a Stephen King tale (with the typical King complex narrative) and struggled mightily to achieve the same light tone, the same joie de vivre, the same re-imagining of what it is like to be a child on the verge of adulthood.Hollywood did succeed nicely. This film, however, aces it.

Slow paced drama going essentially nowhere...

Stumbling upon the 2011 movie "Jess + Moss" by random chance here in 2025, I opted to give the movie a fair chance, as it was a movie that I had neither seen, nor actually ever heard about. So I virtually had no idea what I was in for, aside from whatever little information the movie's synopsis provided.Writers Clay Jeter, Debra Coleman Jeter, Nikki Jeter Wilbanks, Will Basanta and Isaac Hagy put together a script, storyline and narrative that requires the audience to be ready to be in for a slow paced narrative that is driven by characters, as there wasn't a whole lot of interesting things going on. You really need to be fans of dramas to properly enjoy this movie. It was a story of coming of age, of relationship between cousins, growing up and dealing with budding sexuality and feelings.Needless to say that I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, which was actually something that spoke in favor of the movie. The acting performances in the movie were good, though it was mostly just Sarah Hagan (playing Jess) and Austin Vickers (playing Moss) on the screen.The movie was not of good image quality. It felt like it was recorded on a leftover VCR camera recorder from the 1980s. It was grainy and gritty, and I didn't really like that, as movies should be crystal clear. But of course that is a matter of personal preference. And you might say that the gritty feel of the camera added to the atmosphere of the movie, in a way.While I managed to sit through the movie in its entire 82 minute runtime, I can honestly say I am never returning to watch this movie a second time.My rating of director Clay Jeter's 2011 movie "Jess + Moss" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
