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.
