What Picture Day lacks in tension it makes up for in the writer-director's astute understanding of character and acuteness of observation. Go to Full Review Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews 05/24/2013
This unusual coming-of-age comedy boasts excellent character development and involving performances. It's a promising feature movie debut for filmmaker Kate Melville. Go to Full Review James Plath Movie Metropolis 05/22/2013

Maslany is fantastic as the main character, and there's just enough irony and complexity to make this slice-of-life film seem relevant. Go to Full Review Bill Chambers Film Freak Central 09/14/2012

Picture Day leaves a pleasant aftertaste, and I can't help but chalk most of that up to Maslany. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 09/10/2012

06/23/2020 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 See more 09/19/2019 Unique story, a surprise at every turn. I also enjoyed the acting and the music! See more 10/03/2017 A quiet, well directed film that is made all the better by a young Tatiana Maslany's strong, charismatic performance and an excellent soundtrack. See more 05/17/2016 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. See more 04/07/2015 What Picture Day lacks in tension it almost makes up for in the writer-director's astute understanding of character and acuteness of observation. See more 02/22/2015 This was a bit slow at times, but the adorable ending made up for that. See more Read all reviews
