Photograph's reviews
Media reviews
Fotogramas
A very restful feel-good movie, where dramatic edges are exposed and resolved without generating tensions.
Variety
Batra´s cinema has remained markedly consistent in tone and texture. It´s hard to find another director making movies more enjoyable right now.
The Hollywood Reporter
Discreetly charming. Batra turns a story that can sound trite and ridiculous into an adorable movie with a tender tone of sadness
Screen Daily
"'Photograph?s' deliberate pace does bring some rich rewards for the patient viewer, while a lovely ending feels like a throwback to the old-fashioned big screen romances of yore".
New York Times
"If the story is familiar, the storytelling can be immersive ? Batra shades in the leads and their worlds with a human specificity that makes ?Photograph? compelling in a slice-of-life way, particularly regarding class in India".
The Washington Post
"The performances are lovely, including Jaffar?s unforced comedic turn (...) But 'Photograph' goes a little too far in implementing Batra?s favored style of storytelling. Sometimes, less isn?t more, but ? as in this case ? not quite enough.
El País
Very pretty. It has one of its axes in the value and sense of objects beyond the physical, forming with them a beautiful metaphorical sense, also expanded by the good work of Batra.
El Periódico
Adopts a muted tone that works effectively. Batra so little attenuates both the sentimental side and the comedy and drama that ultimately turns its two protagonists into little more than blank slates.
