A review by Alunauwie
10.0
Written on September 29, 2025
The Photograph presents a culturally rich and emotionally subtle story rooted in Chinese-Indonesian tradition, unfolding at a slow, reflective pace that allows each moment to breathe. Though dialogue is minimal, the film effectively conveys emotion through strong visual composition, fitting sound design, and poignant scenes—like Johan’s eerie encounter with death during a house cleansing. While the late reveal of Yani as the narrator adds a twist, it slightly disrupts the narrative focus, which might have been stronger if centered solely on Sita. Still, the film remains a beautifully crafted and introspective experience.
