Reception

The film has a 71% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.^[2]

Guy Lodge of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Snapshots wallows a little too readily in cliché to be quite as stirring as its story - one drawn from Corran's own family history - sounds on paper."^[3]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review and wrote, "And while the pacing can be a little too leisurely at times, it doesn't prevent Snapshots from being a mature, reflective drama that is all the more effective for its restraint."^[4]

Paul Parcellin of Film Threat also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Fortunately, the film avoids taking us down a predictable path and instead provides what feels like a more true to life recollection of days gone by."^[5]
