Young writer Richard Collier is met on the opening night of his first play by an old lady who begs him to "Come back to me". Mystified, he tries to find out about her, and learns that she is a famous stage actress from the early 1900s, Elise McKenna. Becoming more and more obsessed with her, he manages, by self hypnosis, to travel back in time where he meets her. They fall in love, a matching that is not appreciated by her manager. Can their love outlast the immense problems caused by their "time" difference? And can Richard remain in a time that is not his? Alas, no! He returns to his own time when viewing a 1979 penny.

The photo was actually in focus but I added the blur to reflect the actual scene in the movie. It never was really clear, you could make out the date then it blurred almost immediately. In hindsight I probably shouldn't have done it, or at least reduced the amount significantly. Thanks for the comments.
I'm not familiar with that one so I can't score on that level. Picture-wise i think this is too tight on the subject to have any significance to the average person or to tell a story. Stepping back might also allow for beter focus.
I loved that movie and the penny is the perfect thing to use to condense the whole mood. To get a better score it needs to be in focus and attention paid to the composition. Maybe not such a tight crop. Let the viewer see the whole hand with the penny in one of the rot positions. Maybe something else added from the other time period to contrast how he flipped back to the present time because of seeing the year on the penny.
This seems to be somewhat out of focus. Focusing close-up shots is very tricky. Sometimes it is best to take several images and pick the one with best focus. A little sharpening in a photo editor would have helped but is no substitute for getting good focus in the first place.
