I saw the cover and got intrigued so I just decided to watch it. Honestly it's not worth the short hour of watch time. Snapshot feels like a fitting title, it's like the boring snapshot of a couples life and the whole film is produced like a cheap snapshot. After a short google search it seems like the director filmed another movie in Thailand called "A trip with friend" with the same actors. I expect them to be rather similar and filmed over the course of a few days. His other film Cine Cafe in Paris also sounds really similar when reading the only review and description online.

The movie mostly revolves around maybe 7 longer scenes of 2 people sitting and talking with the occasional multicam cut to another angle. This wouldn't be that bad if the acting wasn't this hard to watch at times. Plus the dialogue is really awkward and flat. Maybe some great actors could've made this into a decent movie, but like it is, it just feels like the stuff you produce during film school. The occasional shots of Thailand are the only refreshing part and show that the team had the potential for decent cinematography, but the way everything is setup makes the movie fully depend on the acting and writing, which just isn't very good.

Technically this movie is a lot better than the first. The story is a bit better, the actors seem slightly better and they refined a few rough edges. But it's biggest problem is also the first movie. A ton of scenes feel like they had the script for the first one, spilled some coffee and now some parts are unreadable and they had to make them up again. It's not just a homage to like the best scene of the first movie or something, but at least like 10 scenes are just 1:1 copies with slight changes. It just reeks of laziness from the writers. If you haven't watched the first one, just skip it and watch this one and if you did, there isn't much reason to watch this.
