Didn't love it but didn't hate it either.

What my almost immediate impression was of One Hour Photo when I first read about it was simply that it just looks like another psychological thriller with nothing that changes and well, that is pretty much everything that it was but not quite as amazing as I was hoping it to be. Time and time again, we see that one character that meets someone or a group of people and begins to become deeply obse... read more

The plot of psicopath obsessed with being part of the family whose photos he processes is more than OK, but Williams is too histrionic in his patetism, the dreams are a repetitive trick, the suspense and visual intrigue is poor.

A good movie

It has been a while since I have seen this flick but I always had a weak spot for the damned thing. The first thing I really enjoyed was the way Robin Williams handled this character. Indeed, I always had a lot of respect for his work but it was just great to see him playing a completely different character and, for once, to tone down, no, to completely erase his usual hysteria. Indeed, I thought... read more

Description: Viewed through our photographs, it would seem we have lived a joyous, leisurely existence. Sy Parrish (Robin Williams), who makes this observation, adversely leads a lonely life, operating a photo lab in a SavMart department store. He escapes his dreary reality through the family photos of Nancy Yorkin (Connie Nielsen) and her family. His admiration of the Yorkins becomes an obsession, as he fashions himself as Uncle Sy to little Jake (Dylan Smith). Sy's judgment becomes impaired by his unhealthy interest, causing him to lose his job of 11 years. As his final day approaches, Sy develops photographs revealing an indiscretion on t ... (more)

"13.3. 2024 "One Hour Photo" is a movie about a depressed man living on the edge, so the main theme is quite similar compared to such films as "Taxi Driver" and "Falling Down". The main character is a photo lab worker called Sy who becomes obsessed with a family that has been his longtime customer. Not much is explained about Sy's background, but not many explanations are always needed. Sy's mental state is depicted in a realistic manner: as a hobby, he put photos of the family he knows on his w"

crazymetalhead posted a review 4 years, 2 months ago

“I’m a huge Robin Williams fan. When I heard he starred in a horror film, I was both excited and confused. Why would someone like him be in a psychological horror film? I was shocked to find out he did a fantastic job portraying the psychotic but affable Sy Parrish. This movie disturbed me. Not in the way like Hostel or Salo would but rather disturbed me psychologically and that’s the first time a film like this did that!” read more
