"The Photograph" is my favorite romantic film. It depicts a romantic interaction between a photographer's distant daughter and a journalist who was studying the photographer's life. The film revolved solely around two lovers, Issa Rae (who portrayed "Mae Morton") and Lakeith Stanfield (who portrayed "Michael Block"),who were about to investigate another romantic story while developing theirs.

The film began on a quiet note, as Michael, a journalist, was asked to interview a man named Isaac about his life following the devastating hurricane Katrina. During the interview, Michael appeared to be intrigued by a work of art that he noticed in Isaac's home, and he inquired further about the creative mind behind it, which led to an investigation into the life of the famous photographer Christina Eames.

Often times, we are left with little memories of our loved ones and so much about their lives to uncover, well it was the same case for Mae, Christina Eames' estranged daughter, who gets a safety deposit box containing images with two letters written on them: "To Mae" and "Deliver it to your father".Meanwhile, Michael had been looking into Mae's relationship with Christina, so she decided to visit her at the museum where she works, they had a great moment of introduction while sticking to delivering Christina's life suggestions.

I used to believe that "Love at first sight is a myth", well it was different for
Michael who fell in love with Mae at first sight, and he sets up another encounter at the French Film. They ended up conversing more, and I could sense that there was chemistry between them. So Michael takes Mae out on a date, and while they were out, he had the perfect lines for her as I remembered this line vividly "I was wondering if it is late in the night to kiss you" and they both kissed while Mae replying "it was never late".

Remember when I said the movie was about two lovers discovering another romantic relationship well it was true because Christiana's life had revealed that she had been in a Romantic relationship with Isaac years before, but she had hopes and ambitions to be a great photographer, so she left for New York without telling him. Christiana's mother had died during this time, and she returned for the funeral, hoping to find the proper words to beg Isaac for forgiveness , but she was heartbroken to see him married. Christina returns with Mae to take photographs in her former home, when they ran into Isaac, who offers supper, but Christina declines since she is too emotional to meet him, so she rushes back to New York with Mae.

It was time for the moment of truth and possibly reconnecting as Mae decides to pay Isaac a visit. As they talk about their relationship, Mae discovers that Isaac is her father, while Isaac confesses that he was too afraid to ask when he saw her as a small child with her mother.Michael also travels to complete the tale with Isaac, as he had secured a job in the United Kingdom but was too afraid to inform Mae about it. They met at Isaac's house and spend the entire day together, wilding in love. When Michael finally tells her about the job, Mae did not like the idea because she believed a long-distance relationship was impossible for her.

Well, we all have that "somebody" we really care about and would do anything to be with- Michael finally departed for the United Kingdom and begins his new life,but was always thinking of Mae. Mae, on the other hand, was tidying away her mother's belongings when she came upon a video of her mother expressing that "she regrets not loving people better." This struck Mae's mind, and she decided to send Michael a ticket invitation to Kendrick Lamar's concert in the United Kingdom. They finally saw each other, and Mae expressed her deep feelings for him, and they both decided to work it out.
