Review of One Hour Photo (2002) by Lewis E — 07 Dec 2015

'One Hour (and 38 mins) Photo' captures a clear picture of Robin Williams' capabilities beyond the frame of comedy. Here he plays a creepy photo technician who grows an unhealthy infatuation with a family, a role effectively played with such uncomfortable niceness that it manages to combine both disturbing and endearing qualities.

However, the early promise of a sinister tale is abandoned in favour of a lacklustre conclusion which failed to take the characters in any significant direction. Perhaps worth watching regardless due to Williams performance but after such a gripping start, it was a shame it didn't apply the photo finish.
