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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

Watching Piper Laurie deliver a brilliant performance is reason enough to watch this film. Subtle and gentle one minute then tough and solid the next, Rose (her character) is who I want t be in my 80's. The cast is excellent and a few stars are born like Emily Goss and Shannon Collis. The young lovers are real and genuine. I rarely give a film a 10 but Snapshots certainly deserves it. I downloaded then bought the DVD because it is even better on a bigger screen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

So few lgbtq type films are good.They are always just okay. But Snapshots soars. The story, acting, filming, music, everything is wonderful. Piper Laurie plays Rose. She is phenomenal. And it is a film for everyone. Mainstream too. Beautiful love story and the two lovers are amazing.
