Snapshots (2018) User Reviews

Beautiful...

[jelencesb · 8/10 · 19 May 2021]

It was a truly beautiful film in overall,in every aspect!

Not bad

[eejohnston-56374 · 6/10 · 5 February 2019]

Enjoyed the movie even though it was overacted in several scenes. Biggest issue was that Brooke Adams was poorly cast. In the movie her character was born after 1960 and Adams is clearly way older than that.

Tender and Touching Timeless Love

[gretahindel · 10/10 · 18 August 2018]

Though it starts a little slow,Snapshots builds to an emotional ending that has kept me thinking about it for days. Piper Laurie is outstanding. We should all have a grandma like Rose the liberal one among the three. A reminder that things were closeted in1960 Midwest and in sixty years we still fight to be accepted and love who we want to love. One thing to mention is the look of the film. Big budget look and it's an indie film. Don't miss this one. The sleeper surprise this year.

Cheers

Finally an LGBTQ movie that is quality with quality actors and outstanding story.

SIGNED UP JUST TO TELL YOU IT IS A FIVE STAR WINNER

[melaniestanton · 10/10 · 31 March 2019]

Someone told me that I could share my love of Snapshots on IMDB. I do love this movie. I'm over 50 and I can relate to the fear and pain I had being in love with someone society frowned on. The two actresses were real and I felt their joy, passion, love and loss deeply. Piper Laurie was amazing. Is amazing too. This is a film for everyone. One of the best I've ever seen.

Great movie

[saira-61909 · 5/10 · 9 July 2020]

I enjoyed this movie, but I found the mother very annoying and I didn't enjoy her acting is was bad, and suddenly she's homophobic after discovering her mum and daughter and had/in relationships with women too.she suddenly changes!!!

Piper Laurie Still Has It

[raymalone-71997 · 10/10 · 18 August 2018]

I watched the film with my wife because I've always admired Piper Laurie. At 85 she is still a great actress. Her portrayal of the love lost matriarch Rose who has to deal with her terribly unhappy daughter and confused grandchild is right on the mark. The music really got me. Those 60's tunes plus the background music that was composed add a lot to the film. Not every man will like this film. I just so happened to like is very much. Watch it.

Disgusting

[mohammadjalshowbaki · 1/10 · 16 October 2018]

Start well , but then i don't understand what's happen !! It becomes nudity and bad memories, , I'm so disappointed

Wonderful Film Surprise

[gracejelly-15251 · 9/10 · 15 October 2018]

Didn't know what to expect. I am happy I took a chance on this independent film because it looks and feels big budget. The story isn't unique but it doesn't matter because it is told in a unique way. Just like we've never heard what it is to be gay in 1960. The acting is good all around. I especially liked the beauty of the film. Whoever was the cinematographer deserves applause.

Where is Piper's academy award?

[coolyhotgal · 10/10 · 10 March 2019]

Snapshots is a small indie film that presents as a big budget standout movie. I fell in love with Piper Laurie's character. What a great actress. Her lines have stuck with me and her face- wow. The story is timely. To see where we've come in nearly sixity years. When Louise says "I'm not a man. I don't go where I'm not invited" just hits to the core. Watch it once, twice, more.

It broke me open

[izzybarnaby · 10/10 · 8 August 2019]

Just like Rose says she broke me open, this movie broke me open. It is such a beautiful story and I am so glad I found it. Piper Laurie is amazing.

Worse than a Hallmark/Lifetime movie

[lilshipofdreams · 1/10 · 8 March 2022]

Brooke Adams gave the worst performance as an actress, complete inability to register emotion on her face.

The premise of the movie is that adultery and abortion are all ok because 1) it's a lesbian affair 2) grandma did it.

Live for the best in you

[taniaarnidou · 9/10 · 13 January 2019]

A movie that makes you think and understand that you only live once.

My Life on the Screen

[marielatourlady · 10/10 · 4 July 2019]

Having just celebrated Pride month, I watched many LGBTQ films. Snapshots is absolutely the best of them all. Louise taught Rose to be bold. We could all learn a lesson from her. Grandma Rose is who I want to be at 85. Piper Laurie is amazing. The story is gently told. I loved it.

So This is Love

[docmcmasters-50051 · 9/10 · 24 January 2019]

I found film on Amazon LGBTQ but it is so much more than a lesbian film. The interactions between the three generations of women is brilliant. It shows you that love between people can be strong enough to accept the actions that were taken. I strongly urge anyone who wants to witness love in many forms to watch this film.

A MUST WATCH MOVIE

[emmawarson · 10/10 · 14 March 2019]

One of those sleeper movies that was only in one theater for one week. Too bad because everyone should know about it. It's a stunning movie. Acting the tops. I fell in love with Rose and Louise. Great story. One film I'll watch over and over.

All Films Should Be This Good

[barbtheleader · 10/10 · 6 February 2019]

The story of Rose of today and then of her life 50 years ago captured my heart. Piper Laurie brings incredible and gentle brilliance to her role. Worth watching to see a master class on acting. I loved everything about Snapshots especially the scenery and music that made it even more special. Kudos to the young lovers too.

Gal Down Under Loves This

[galdownunder · 10/10 · 4 March 2019]

Just saw in Sydney on big screen at Mardi Gras Film Festival. 1st runner up for Audience favorite feature and I know why people loved it. It was a real story about real people. I cried and smiled and the lovers made my heart skip beats. It is a brilliant film and you must see it.

A Winner

[robinsonjudy · 10/10 · 10 September 2018]

Grab a kleenex. I loved this movie. Have watched it twice now. Rented it then bought the DVD. I liked every cast member, especially Rose (Piper Laurie) and Young Rose (Shannon Collis).

Blown Away

[championl-74529 · 10/10 · 30 August 2018]

I saw this at a film festival recently. I'm a 40 year old man who just had to see Piper Laurie on a theater screen. I, just like the rest of this packed theater, was riveted to the film. I laughed and I shed a few tears but the thing I took away was that we should love who we love and never settle. We should be bold. Kudos to Melanie Mayron for delivering a gentle and powerful film. Just bought the DVD because this is one film I will watch again. To the entire cast I say thank you.

I fall in love again

[marykingston-08573 · 10/10 · 28 July 2019]

Most beautiful movie I have seen in long time. I fell in love all over again with my wife. Thank you for story.

ONE WORD- OUTSTANDING!

[lizbethmorganthal · 10/10 · 26 May 2019]

I'm so glad I found this movie. It is near impossible to find well acted stories in the LGBT world. This far exceeds good. It is outstanding. The story touched me deeply. The young lovers, the grandmother remembering, and the granddaughter becoming the person she wants to be. It is wonderful.

Housebound Delight

[russianriverbaby · 9/10 · 28 February 2019]

Sitting on second floor of house in a flood so I'm watching films. Thank you flood for giving me time to watch Snapshots. It is wonderful. The story really got to me and I needed a tissue, but I also laughed a lot too. This is a great film and one not to miss. Piper Laurie is amazing. No wonder she won so many awards. I loved Shannon Collis as the younger Rose. Great actress. See it.

99% perfect film

[judysweetwater · 10/10 · 14 June 2019]

I had such an amazing response to all of Snapshots. One of the best gay films I've ever watched. Acting is excellent and believable. The story is simple and complex at the same time. Piper Laurie is amazing too.

Best LGBT MOVIE EVER

[marythewonderjones · 10/10 · 25 August 2019]

Most LGBT movies aren't that great. Snapshots changes that because it is what LGBT movies should be. There is a compelling story with outstanding acting. The two lovers are believable and I love their love for each other. It's real. If you want to see a quality LGBT film, Snapshots is it.
