The MM - "Robin Williams delivers an Oscar caliber performance as he plays the meticulous, lonely, compulsive, and troubled discount mart employee in charge of developing store patrons family snapshots. Connie Nielsen, Michael Vartan, and Gary Cole support adequately but this film focuses on how out of focus Williams' life has become. One Hour Photo develops slowly but Williams rarely lets the movie drag. Obsession leads to desperation as Williams journeys over the edge, leading to eerie, suspenseful, and extremely shocking finale. Pessimistic, depressing, and definitely not family entertainment, but Williams effort alone makes One Hour Photo worth framing.
