Quote:
"It's hard to balance love and career: that may not be a fresh insight, but it's rarely been explored as tenderly as it is in The Photograph, an exploration of two generations of wayward souls who too easily allow romance to take a backseat to professional and artistic aspirations. Issa Rae and LaKeith Stanfield have terrific chemistry playing immensely likable but guarded people learning to be truly intimate with one another, and writer-director Stella Meghie provides them with smart, sparkling dialogue. And although the film sometimes dips into muddled melodrama, those occasional setbacks can't derail a story filled with warm, resonant characters trying to fathom their own hearts."
