Watched the entire 6.5hrs in one sitting, it is that good. Terrific cast, pacing, gripping story. One of the best miniseries yet.

Deeply affecting story with great performances, esp Chiron (all ages), Kevin (all ages) and Juan and Teresa and Mama. Like a great novel, understated and absolutely truthful. One of the great American films, on a budget of $1.5m! Unforgettable movie.

I liked Photograph a lot. Cinematography is classy, visually very impressive with some great lighting effects, especially the interiors of the drinks warehouse and Mr Sodabottlewallah's flat. The minor characters were terrific: the shopkeeper uncle, the garrulous taxidriver, the vile college teacher, the ghost Tawari, the old family doctor, the house servant woman, and of course, Dadi the grandmother who stole every scene she was in. The two leads were very attractive, he had more more depth than she, but Sanya Malhotra looked wonderful in closeup although her character seemed far too passive given the circumstances of the story. I felt that with a stronger more believable love story the two leads would have had real chemistry. The score too is well-judged, very adaptable and quite wistful. I felt part of a real Indian world throughout and thoroughly enjoyed the film, for its great good humour and luminous leading actirs.

It was fun, a bit pretentious to begin with but the ensemble worked very well and there was a pleasing amount of wit. Both leads were great, Tracey very believable. I was entertained!

Formulaic. The actors go through the motions.
