PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

When famed photographer Christina Eames dies unexpectedly, she leaves her estranged daughter, Mae (ISSA RAE), hurt, angry and full of questions. When Mae finds a photograph tucked away in a safe-deposit box, she soon finds herself delving into her mother’s early life — an investigation that leads to an unexpected romance with a rising journalist (LAKEITH STANFIELD).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Photograph<\/em><\/strong> is presented with a 1080p high-definition transfer and shown in its original 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio. For the most part, this is a nice looking picture, detail is relatively sharp and although it is a serious romance-drama, there are some coloring that pops through while the dark levels are stark. There were no signs of aliasing or artifacting making for a clean picture.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Oddly enough, this comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track which is a bit stronger than necessary and most of the film is dialogue-heavy. The most I can say about the depth is that the score from Robert Glasper makes the most out of it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
