The loveliness of this film shines through in the openness each character has to the other person's good.

Photograph is a slow-paced dramedy that can't quite transcend its setup. So, Batra ends up with a bland and meandering tale that is all foreplay and no climax.

| Jul 23, 2020

Simple, coherent and evocative.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 20, 2020

Yes, the bare bones plot reeks of familiarity, but the cultural details make it feel fresh, taking the mundane and turning it into something not so dismissible.

There's a warm, romantic charm to Photograph that allows it to overcome its conventions and while it won't rock your world, it has some nice poetical touches that make it a pleasure to spend 110 minutes with.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 6, 2020

Photograph is a feel-good movie that is very soothing, where the dramatic edges are exposed and resolved without generating any tension. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2019

Photograph fast becomes an emotional desert, disengaging to a point where I felt, dare I say it ... bored.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2019

A charming and delightful romantic drama.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 17, 2019

A languorous love letter to Mumbai that plays with the cinematic conventions of romance.

Photograph is about two emotionally distant people trying to find common ground. Its real charm lies in moments of silences and melancholy that flow like poetry.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 25, 2019

An engrossing and intriguing drama, helped over the finishing line by the subtlety of its performances

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 3, 2019

The cinematography is beautiful and the setting is intricately realized, but it's unfocused in intent, and the characters are ultimately impenetrable.

Photograph is a kind, gentle, slowly unfolding possibility of love.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2019

Though perhaps too ethereal for its own good in the end, Ritesh Batra's film has lots of charm.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 8, 2019

Siddiqui is winning in the [central] role, while his scenes with Jaffar bring a sparky energy to the screen that is a welcome contrast to the film's largely quiet tone.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 8, 2019

[Ritesh Batra] imbues Photograph with an impressive stillness and realism.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2019

It's a likeable, tender story, in the manner of Batra's 2013 film The Lunchbox, but it withholds a lot from the audience without giving us something we're owed: a good reason for all that elusiveness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 5, 2019

It's certainly engrossing, but perhaps too gentle to deliver much dramatic punch, until we reach an ending that asks us to consider how movies themselves can ingrain possibly unfulfillable longings in our daily lives.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 5, 2019

This bland, sombre love story from the director of The Lunchbox (2013) lacks that film's flavour.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 4, 2019

It's an artful look at two misfit loners who find each other. But only just.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 2, 2019
