Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The Movie Diorama Whoa. I mean, I actually felt uncomfortable watching this. I kept fidgeting! The whole premise and the realism of it just affected me greatly. This isn't just a typical psychological thriller where a crazy guy goes crazy and does crazy things. This is an intelligent study of a character who's loneliness and solitude has driven him to stalking a family. A photograph printer who sees into the lives of those that are within these pictures, he is able to imagine himself being in them. He clearly narrates that photographs are always taken on happy occasions, and never on the events that we wish to forget. I found that to be rather poignant. All he ever desired was to be loved or wanted, and yet he just existed. His days are just routines, his life being lived in the clinical colours of beige. So very monotonous. Another great narration was the etymology of the word "snapshot" which he said was a hunting term. A guy, with a camera, taking snapshots, of children. Powerful, absolutely compelling. Robin Williams yet again proved he was able to steer away from his typecast comedic roles and endeavour in more psychologically challenging performances. He was outstanding. The supporting cast were fine but Williams owned this whole film. Creepy yet with an undertone of melancholia. You can see how the screenplay manages to convince the audience that his mental state is of depression. We don't hate him, we actually sympathise instead. So many terrifying scenes, not in terms of horror but how realistically possible these scenarios are. Your child talking to a stranger and buying them gifts. A stranger waiting outside your house everyday. These stalker-like behaviour traits is ever so apparent in the current world. That's what makes this film so powerful. Realism. I wish we could've explored Sy "the photo guy's" past, I'm sure it would've been fascinating. It may not be a blockbuster thriller, but this little gem is one of Robin Williams' best performances.

Alan Smithee Esq. A perfect example of an obsession gone awry. The technology may be dated but it's still a twisted little movie. The late great Robin William's best dramatic role. Most of the film is bright and beautiful to watch but the underlying tone is dark and disturbing. One of the all time best psychological thrillers.

FilmBuff1994 One Hour Photo is a great movie with a very well developed plot and a terrific cast. It is a thrilling story as we follow the psychotic character, rather than the characters dealing with him. Sye works in a photo lab and soon becomes obsessed with a family, sending a shiver down your spine as he daydreams about them and eventually brings his feelings to action.However, I did feel the story did not go as far as it could have. We never see Sye break down entirely, we are anticipating something huge, but it never really comes. It's never goes as far as it seems to want have. Robin Williams completely transforms himself in to this role, embodying this sociopathic man looked so easy for him. Despite the fact he had never played a character anything like him previously, he is chilling and not one bit funny.What I really took away from this film was how effective a performance is in creating a likable character. Sye may be a man with no remorse for human privacy or emotion, we feel empathy towards him and his struggles as a result of an effective performance. Thrilling and well acted, One Hour Photo s a worth the watch if you are looking for a good drama or thriller. An employee at a photo lab soon begins an unhealthy obsession with a local family. Best Performance: Robin Williams

Pau Evo I had always wanted to watch this movie because i had seen so many Robin Williams movies but not this one. This movie is sharp, creepy, weird, thrilling and really, really good. I am still thinking about it days after watching it. Some of the film is even left to interpretation by the viewer so there is even more to figure out. The movie is about Sy, a photo clerk at a super store. Sy(short for Seymour) played by Robin Williams is a typical man in his 40's/50's that is a nice, lovable, loser that lives alone. His loneliness turns him mad. He becomes obsessed with a family (Nina, Will, and Jake) that regularly gets their photos developed by him. He makes copies of their photos and puts them on the wall of his apartment. He is so lonely that he dreams of being a part of this family. He buys the same book that he sees sticking out of Nina's bag at the store. At first, he wanted to be like an uncle to the family but then later on he wants to marry Nina and get rid of her husband Will. One of the creepiest parts of the movie is when Sy watches the family's son Jake (Dylan Smith) play soccer from the sidelines and acts like an uncle.Sy eventually gets in trouble for using the extra film to make the copies of the family photos and gets fired for it by his boss (Gary Cole). Sy completely loses his mind at this point, and is determined to get rid of Will by filming his infidelity. Without giving it all away, the ending is wild. I would say the first half of the movie is better than the second but I'm nitpicking.8.5/10 Very intense, very creepy. Williams at his best in my opinion. Not necessarily his best acting but his best character fit. Kudos to the director and supporting cast as well, it was very well done. Thrilling atmosphere and excellent music. This movie is gripping partly because its so cringe worthy at times how weird Williams' character is and how obsessed he is. Humans can be such odd creatures when they are alone for too long.
