September 21, 2009Mark Romanek?s debut is unsurprisingly beautiful to look at but unfortunately, it?s style over content in this woefully average film.

September 14, 2008SUPER creepy movie. I remember being freaked out for awhile after seeing this. It was kinda slow though.

August 18, 2008Disturbing.Fairly well done, good actors and all, but it misses the point. The whole servant/master intimacy thing is interesting but it is quite a mundane anecdote. It is hardly more insightful than a junior high essay.

There are weird resonances between actor and role here, and they're not exactly flattering. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
It has Williams -- memorably creepy, chillingly sad. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Williams plays Sy, another of his open-faced, smiling madmen, like the killer in Insomnia. He does this so well you don't have the slightest difficulty accepting him in the role. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
It's not nearly as intelligent, thoughtful or penetrating as it promises to be. Yet the consistent delicacy and emotional clarity of Williams' acting in One Hour Photo makes the picture impossible to ... full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
One Hour Photo takes Robin Williams to darker and more complex places that we can't turn our eyes away from. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
