Prime Video's 'Picture This' Receives Mixed Reviews for Its Rom-Com Execution

Critics praise Simone Ashley's performance but highlight the film's underwhelming romance and missed narrative opportunities.

Simone Ashley stars as Pia, a photographer navigating career struggles and familial pressure to find love in this rom-com directed by Prarthana Mohan.
The film's premise centers on Pia's journey through five blind dates set up by her family, intertwined with a second-chance romance plotline.
Critics commend Ashley's performance and the film's attempt to explore themes of personal growth and familial dynamics.
However, the romance between Pia and her high school ex, played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin, is criticized for lacking depth and sufficient screen time to develop convincingly.
While the comedic elements and supporting cast performances provide some enjoyment, reviewers note the film fails to fully capitalize on its potential as a rom-com.
