All too predictably, as if obeying some rule of genre, the director trades in his more involved ideas about alienation and voyeurism for an…

Review of One Hour Photo (2002)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 25 Jun 2006

This is not the Robin Williams you are used to seeing…

Review of One Hour Photo (2002)

By Jami Bernard (708) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 21 Sep 2005
