If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Robin Williams really escapes into this role and the man we've come to love is no where to be seen. However even though he's clearly insane you do find yourself sympathizing with his character. It is a hard film to watch with this man who has no social skills put himself into cringy situations. It will have you on the edge of your seat almost wanting to get out, but so drawn in by the story that you can't help but stay to find out what happens next. However there are parts that are drawn out.

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.

a film about vulnerability, care, justice and need of affection. simple, honest almost to be cruel, fascinating because it presents the truth who you desire to ignore. and one of special films who ignore the classic border between good and evil. and assume the risk to explore in profound manner the cases of solitude in the period of globalization. under the pressure of news about terrorism, psychopaths, crimes, thieves, corruption or accidents, this film has the precious gift to explain and not to present, describe, impose verdicts, opinions and fake solutions. a man looking to protect a family. this is the entire story. not useful for empathy or for psychological analysis. only a fragment from every day reality. and the choice of Robin Williams as Seymour Parrish is more than inspired. because he remains the same kind poor man , easy to ignore, discovered too late. so, a picture. a picture of us.

Whilst my only complaint is that it starts off a bit slow, One Hour Photo becomes a fast paced thriller which pitches you on the edge of your seat. The thing I love about this film is that it never reveals to much at one time. The ending is explosive and all the little bits in between are fantastic. Robin Williams' acing is phenomenal, whilst (just like the perfect photo) the filming is also above par, capturing all the scenes in beautiful glory.I can't believe I waited so long to see this. A truly underrated gem and a great thriller. It's also very original, with no film before or after imitating what you watch.
