"A murky and eerie journey through the mind of a sociopath..."
4 stars"

… I warned you. Robbie Williams plays Sy of which I assume is abbreviated short hand for Simon, and he works in a one hour photo department of a department store in urban white America.

This movie takes the viewer through an unhealthy obsession with a regular customers family by this obsessed and clearly deranged individual. This drama suspense tells a story of mental illness of which we today in the world of psychology and medicine still do not really understand and there is no, yet still in 2013, any permanent cure, just continious reptitive treatment.

No more spoilers from me, but a must watch by anyone who wants to be immersed in the world of a psychopathic sociopath living a rather professional but disturbingly private life all by himself.

Description

One Hour Photo

There's nothing more dangerous than a familiar face. In One Hour Photo, Sy Parrish (Robin Williams, cast against type) is a quiet, consummately professional photo lab technician employed in a huge, impersonal shopping centre.

One customer, Nina Yorkin (Connie Nielsen) is unaware that Sy has been carefully printing off extra sets of her family snapshots for years, adding them to a photo collage he has assembled in his apartment.

Just how far will the lonely Sy go to become part of Nina's seemingly perfect American family unit? Williams gives one of his strongest, unsentimental performances in this psychological thriller/melancholy character study.

Critic Reviews:

  • " Intensely scary thriller; not for every teen. " – Nell Minow
  • " Former video director Mark Romanek has written and directed a very entertaining, if overdesigned movie. " – Peter Bradshaw
  • " While honoring the suspense-building engine of a thriller, One Hour Photo creates a nightmare portrait of American life. " – Felicia Feaster
