Atom User Reviews for The Photograph
Shallow characters, poor acting, a 15 minute story stretched out to almost 2 hours. Absolutely painful.
Haven’t been to a movie theater in a long time. I saw the previews and thought it would be a great love movie. Very disappointed that I was fighting to stay awake. We left the movie before it got to the middle. What a waste of money!Should of been a Netflix or Hulu movie.
🖤🖤🖤🖤 black love . Love it see love to promote it
Saddened the leading lady had to settle for a guy ghosting her with poor communication skills and she compromised everything to “get the guy” but he didn’t actually do anything to EARN her. Stellar cast which was my single motive for going to see this in theaters on opening…
such a dope movie
No chemistry between the two main characters; that was the biggest flaw.
Beautiful black love 😍
great movie!
So...the best part of the movie was the background music...Honestly I think they should have made the whole movie just about the Mom...Welp....Let’s just stick to ‘Insecure’ Issa...
This is a wonderful movie
my date loved it. I did too

Awful movie
Was Kind Of boring. Fell Asleep.
Truly enjoyed this movie. It tells a love story without all the mush.
Just okay
A waste of time
I really enjoyed the back story more so then the couple in the “main story” (on the trailer). I do have the day the way that he looks at her is uncannily!
The movie was terrible
Black love

It was a beautiful love story!
A love story that was really needed!
Unique love story, awesome soundtrack and could wath6again & again.
It ended to fast..
The Photograph was a great movie inspired by blackLove just poor decisions people make in general when it comes to love. I would go to theaters again a second time to watch, I just love it.
I loved the movie and perfect cast to express the fullness and realness of the film! It definitely portrayed a love story that is common and familiar to the black community that is often not discussed. Beautiful way of express some reality for romantic relationships
Beautifully shot love story that shows how the past can impact our futures. We really enjoyed it.
I loved the movie
the movie was good I just wish the connection was displayed deeper it was like a uncertainty on the love side..
couldnt follow this movie wouldn't recommend this movie
Great movie to go see for date night
The pacing was off at times. I was more invested in the flashback love story opposed to the present situation-ship. The soundtrack captured essence of the respective eras and settings and really moved the plot along. The nieces were hilarious and Issa's skin was flawless 😍
Great movie, I absolutely loved everything about it.
The movie, like most today, was cleashay and ended abruptly. Could have watched at home.
Enjoyed the movie, Lakeith is such a great actor. I felt he did have to carry scenes without help from Issa. It was also great seeing black people in a movie without someone being a criminal. The movie showed regular black people falling in love.
Issa Rae did an excellent job transitioning from T.V. to the big screen. She also did an excellent job portraying the character she played.
Metacritic
Ultimately, no amount of champagne, pretty faces, and New York real estate porn can turn dull lovers and a dramatic lack of focus into a pretty picture, and this is the reality The Photograph captures in the end.
The Photograph, both thoughtful and entertaining, with a pleasurably laid-back vibe, belongs to a class of movie that barely exists anymore on the big screen. It’s also a reminder that appealing actors are sometimes the best spectacle of all.
Unfortunately, The Photograph doesn’t quite deliver on the promise of its premise.
