Robin Williams is mesmerizing in this absorbing thriller as Sy, “the photo guy,” who has painstakingly developed photographs for the Yorkin family since their son was a baby. Eventually, the lonely, somewhat obsessive Sy convinces himself he's part of the Yorkin family. But when it turns out that the picture-perfect family is not what they seem, Sy’s focus goes from obsession to terror.

Reviews

Herald Sun (Australia)

Leigh Paatsch

Not a pretty picture, but you won't be able to take your eyes off it.

Robin Williams' finest performance remains valid and extremely creepy even after fifteen years. [Full review in Spanish].

While honoring the suspense-building engine of a thriller, One Hour Photo creates a nightmare portrait of American life.

Robin Williams makes this movie what it is with his uncomfortably fearless portrayal of the wimpish Sy the Photo Guy, giving us the creepiest, most spine tingling, heebie-jeebie making film of the year.

London Evening Standard

Alexander Walker

One Hour Photo is a very well-made thriller. It shows us Robin Williams extending his acting range into unusual and disturbing material. And as well as causing acute anxiety in its last reels, it delivers a more moral message than most of its kind.
