Critics Consensus

Though Simone Ashley brings her undeniable talent to Picture This, it strains to find any sense of rom-com charm, settling for limp humor, paint-by-numbers character arcs, and a formulaic glow that feels overly engineered.

Like many an app date, it’s neither offensive nor memorable -- a drop in the bucket, one in an algorithmic sea of many.

Sweet, silly and sincere, director Prarthana Mohan’s spin has a clear understanding of what makes its source material revelatory and resonant.

“Picture This” fades the instant the credits roll, and that obvious wedding dance sequence we’ve come to expect comes rolling along, just as manufactured, just as planned.

Perhaps the joy of self discovery is more rewarding when not bombarded with pervasive failure. I want more for Simone Ashley in the future. I hope this doesn’t hold her back.

With South Asian women in front and behind the camera, “Picture This” is the type of representation we love, even if the film is imperfect.

I thoroughly enjoyed “Picture Perfect” and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an insightful yet funny romantic comedy to escape into.

The dialogue is cringey and unbelievable. None of the characters are likeable. I gave up at the point where her date eats a brownie, but he has a nut allergy. Personally I can’t believe that a person with a nut allergy would just randomly eat home-baked brownies without checking if they contained nuts first.

Pretty standard romcom. Very cute and it's a good watch. I watched it for the female lead who did an amazing job. Give it a try.

Just watched since I have a prime account trial. I don't know much about British Indian culture since I'm a 1st gen in the US and didn't have Indian friends in the UK when I lived there. Wasn't sure how relatable it was. But, probably could have done better with a culture consultant. Her character doesn't have depth and the backstory of her and Charlie is underdeveloped and they don't have much screen time together due to all the sub plots. Had potential, but wouldn't watch it again. It also seems odd to make a short outing to look at jewelry at a safe deposit box. My mother probably would have presented something like that to me at home.

In an hard-to-find good movie library, i found this to be a pleasant surprise. An easy watching, real life similar rom com that was the perfect length and well worth a watch. If it came back on again in passing i’d watch again.
