Let’s summarize the plot to the meandering mess that is the fantasy thriller “Double Exposure.”

There’s this struggling photographer, married and still obsessed with his long lost “first love.”

She was a model/influencer so it’s no wonder his wife isn’t taking this constant “She was in my dream” stuff well. Sure, Peter can feel guilty about someone he split up with who later died. But keep that to yourself, chief.

A near accident has him hallucinate Sara back to life — first via phone call, then in person. The new wife, Lara, takes this…well. Until she sees the dead woman herself.

There are all these flashbacks to how these three met back in college, with a photographer/mentor, a model agent and others involved in the back story.

But was that accident that triggered all this “past” coming back to interfere with the present a “near accident?” And if it wasn’t…

Writer-director Howard Goldberg put some effort into casting and energy into trying to conjure up a twisty plot that wrong-foots the viewer and draws us in.

He’s only half successful, as the picture turns out to be as dull and artless as the art photos our hero (Alexander Calvert) takes with his vintage Nikon.

Instagram influencer Sara (Caylee Cowan) may have the prerequisites of such figures — pardon the pun. But the allure of this knitting-during-photo-shoots bombshell is strictly skin deep, as the character floats up and down the “pretty but vapid” spectrum in every scene.

A marriage is remembered — Kahyun Kim plays the unhappy bride — and marriage counseling is indulged in, professional and romantic photographic rivalries are proclaimed but not developed — pardon that pun, too.

And none of this adds up to a story or characters we invest in, care about or even care to stay with until the bitter end. It’s dry, dull, melodramatic and the only laugh might be the “agent” with his “villa in Italy” shows off his flash and gets a girl by driving a vintage off in a VW Karmann Ghia.

You’d have to be a pretty dim influencer/model indeed to be impressed by that.
