What Picture Day lacks in tension it makes up for in the writer-director's astute understanding of character and acuteness of observation.

Rated: 2.5/4

ReelTalk Movie Reviews

This unusual coming-of-age comedy boasts excellent character development and involving performances. It's a promising feature movie debut for filmmaker Kate Melville.

Maslany is fantastic as the main character, and there's just enough irony and complexity to make this slice-of-life film seem relevant.

Rated: 7/10

Picture Day leaves a pleasant aftertaste, and I can't help but chalk most of that up to Maslany.

Rated: 3/4

...a well-intentioned yet wholly misguided coming-of-age story.

Just the too cool for school double high school senior who can only date older guys. I was expecting more of a rom com than this but it wasn’t terrible 2.3

A quiet, well directed film that is made all the better by a young Tatiana Maslany's strong, charismatic performance and an excellent soundtrack.

Quite a nice movie. I didn't expect much, so I was surprised when I actually found it quite engaging. Troubled teen girl gets involved with a douchey male in his 30's who sings in a band. She is outcast at school due to a bad rep and matching attitude. I actually quite liked her character. Definitely not perfect, but very real.

This was a bit slow at times, but the adorable ending made up for that.
