Guy Lodge Variety 07/31/2018
"Snapshots" wallows a little too readily in cliché to be quite as stirring as its story - one drawn from Corran's own family history - sounds on paper. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 07/26/2018
Well-acted and affecting. Go to Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 07/26/2018
"Snapshots" nicely shuttles between past and present to tell its affecting, evocative tale of familial and romantic love among several generations of women. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 02/12/2024
While the film is maybe a little too earnest for its own good, the performances across the board are fantastic. Go to Full Review Rachel Brook One Room With A View 02/14/2019

Though some of its flaws feel like rather amateur stumbles, Snapshots is clearly well-meaning and keenly felt. Go to Full Review Jarrod Walker FILMINK (Australia) 02/06/2019

Emily G 05/31/2023 Beautiful story and I love the cast! The direction, editing, music are all fantastic. Brilliant production design and costume design. See more Adam C 05/11/2023 Good story well written, excellent direction by my childhood crush Melanie Mayron. The ONLY criticism I have is that the 95-minute script could have been expanded just slightly with a better mechanism than the Diabolus Ex Machina thrown at us at the end. Perhaps a more involved reason for how things ended up; one that involved all four people and the relationships between them. Harder to write, yes, but it would have made for a better film. See more isla s 09/02/2022 This is a sad film but also quite a touching film. I like how it cuts between different times, different generations. There is a poignany about it and its somewhat thoughtful. I'm glad I saw it. It does feature an LGBT storyline, so that may put some off it but I thought it was a good film anyway, so I'd recommend it, yes. See more 06/09/2022 What a fantastic movie. It's been a while since I've been moved so emotional from a movie such as this… it's not you typical lesbian movie. It has a duel effect from the aspect of crazy, non-communicative family drama to a women who found her true love and never forgot. It does a great job of showing the love that two women can share for one another and the lingering effects it has on the heart. This film depicts the love, excitement, happiness, and tenderness that such a relationship between women can be; with no apologies. I especially loved the tenderness of the love scene and the care they took in showing their love. It's a wonderful thing to see such reality portrayed. If you are a person that has been in this type of relationship then you understand exactly what I'm saying. This type of experience can be and is certainly a paradigm shift in one's life. I know it was for me! So, thank you for such a great story. See more 02/20/2020 I love this film. Piper Laurie is outstanding as the matriarch Rose who is revealed for her lesbian affair some 50 years in the past. Acting is believable. The filming is gorgeous. Definitely the best lesbian themed film I've seen in years. See more 09/29/2019 I really enjoyed this movie. It has a happy ending too. :) See more Read all reviews
