A: Practically anything else when the stories are as chemistry-free as a vat of wet rags.
Alas, neither story in this multi-generational flick made the Movie Slut's heart go pitter patter.
Although movie-goers are never shown her work until the end of the movie, they are to believe that Christina Eames was a celebrated photographer who left her love and life in Louisiana to seek fame and fortune in NYC.
Fast forward twenty-plus years and we meet Christina's daughter, Mae, who finds a photo her mother took, and a love interest in Michael, a journalist writing a story on her mom. Christina and Michael share long, lingering looks that are supposed to reveal their burgeoning love. But don't do the trick.
Think of The photograph as a dark-room print that's never developed.
