Pictures is an expansive biopic about pioneer photographers Walter and Alfred Burton. Through the eyes of the ubiquitous Burton brothers, we are treated to the history of New Zealand's colonial era. Obviously, a film of this nature would mean more to New Zealanders than to anyone else, but director Michael Black does his best to broaden the film's appeal. At 87 minutes, Pictures is never around so long as to wear out its welcome. The film could, however use a little more humanity and a little less posing and posturing. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
