Editorial Review: Description: Robin Williams delivers his "finest hour" (USA Today) in "one of the eeriest, most absorbing, effective thrillers in years" (NBC-TV). Sy "the photo guy" Parrish (Williams) has lovingly, painstakingly developed photographs for the Yorkin family since their son was a baby. But as Yorkins' lives become fuller, Sy's only seems lonelier, until he eventually convinces himself he's part of their family. When "Uncle Sy's" picture-perfect fantasy collides with an ugly dose of reality, what happens next "has the spine-tingling elements of the best psychological crime thrillers!" (The New York Observer) Amazon.com: One Hour Photo may be more civilized than Taxi Driver, but it's just as effectively creepy. Like Martin Scorsese's classic, this riveting character study is so compassionately detailed that we sympathize with poor Sy Parrish (Robin Williams) even as he grows increasingly unhinged. Sy is a meticulously dedicated one-hour-photo technician, but the pictures he processes--particularly those belonging to the successful, seemingly happy family of Nina and Will Yorkin (Connie Nielsen, Michael Vartan)--turn into the unhealthiest kind of obsession. The Yorkins' snapshots portray a joyful life that the lonely and traumatized Sy could never hope to achieve, and he sinks deeper and deeper into the solace they bring... until evidence of infidelity turns him into a seething crucible of righteous indignation. Propelled by Williams's flawless escape from the feel-good schmaltz of earlier roles, One Hour Photo is a simmering tour de force, tempered by writer-director Mark Romanek for maximum psychological impact. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Next time you call me out here, that thing better be belching fireOne Hour Photo is a movie where Robin Williams goes from being a funny guy in his other movies to being a creep. He plays a very lonely guy, and you would almost feel sorry for him--if he weren't so unhinged and potentially dangerous. The robot in 'Lost in Space' is waving his robot arms and screaming "Danger, Will Robinson." Let's take a brief retrospective of Robin's career: He is a stand up comedian in San Francisco, and in 1977 that leads to a couple of spots on "The ... Read More Rating: - gripping story; slightly weak endingThis film shows Robin Williams in a shocking and effective departure from his frequent comedic roles. As Sy the Photo Guy, he obsesses unhealthily about one family whose photos he has developed for ten years, keeping a set of prints for himself and his collection every time. He intrudes further into their lives, until things start to unravel as he discovers a secret about them and also loses his job. In the last half hour, he tries to teach one of them a lesson, then ends up with a rather ... Read More Rating: - Creepfest.One Hour Photo is a psychological thriller starring Robin Williams. Williams gives a creepy but brilliant performance as a photo shop worker who becomes obsessed with the "perfect" family. Michael Vartan and Connie Nielsen also star. The ending is a bit choppy but I liked this film, edgy and provocative. I highly recommend it! Rating: - Scary photoThis is a fine film, which along with 'Insomnia' marked a sudden change in what we expect from Robin Williams. Unlike quite a few people I've always though he was a good actor. You really can't argue about his performances in 'Good Morning Vietnam' or 'The Fisher King'. However I'll concede he has made some some turkeys in his time! 'One Hour Photo' is something completely different. Williams plays Sy, a photo technician in a large store. He's a loner who leads a pretty sad life and who ...
