Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"Writer-director Stella Meghie’s fourth feature, thick and multilayered with a lush and precise visual language, invites the audience to look beneath the surface of a standard meet-cute." - 02/13/2020 Hollywood Reporter


"It’s a looser, warmer, and more meditative romance, one that takes its time by giving its actors room to breathe." - 02/13/2020 Variety


3 stars out of 4 -- "THE PHOTOGRAPH feels like a gentle throwback to romantic movies that left their audiences in good spirits as they filed out of the theater. Robert Glasper’s jazzy score adds a sultry finish to both love stories..." - 02/14/2020 RogerEbert.com


"Meghie does a nice job early with Mae and Michael, filling in their respective lives with precise, enriching details, from the art on the walls to their teasing conversations about music..." - 02/13/2020 New York Times


"THE PHOTOGRAPH remains consistently pleasant to watch, particularly when Meghie moves away from dramatic plotting and just lets Rae, Stanfield, Howery, and Parris riff on a wedding sartorial choice gone wrong." - 02/13/2020 A.V. Club


"For a Valentine’s trip to the movies, you couldn’t wish for a hotter and more talented pair of lovers than Issa Rae and LaKeith Stanfield." - 02/13/2020 Rolling Stone


"In writer-director Stella Meghie’s jazz-infused, melancholy, contemplative and lovely THE PHOTOGRAPH, the pictures don’t tell the full story, but they’re the launching point." - 02/16/2020 Chicago Sun-Times


"It’s worth the effort due to the chemistry generated by Stanfield and Rae." - 03/02/2020 Empire


3 stars out of 5 -- "Luxuriantly sensual and unashamedly romantic, THE PHOTOGRAPH is a cat’s cradle of connecting love stories, spun across states, decades and continents." - 03/08/2020 The Guardian
