One Hour Photo Ratings & Reviews
- Neon GhloesJanuary 29, 2026I haven't done a foley gig in over 20 years, but I will say this.. I DO AMAZING WORK if I don't say so myself! Lol! The blinker cadence of Robin Williams's Echo when Connie Nielsen finds her husband is cheating via the photos is ALL attributed to me! Lol! I actually got to meet with the DP and suggest that filming the scene as it was would be great, but I had JUST put led turn signals in my pick-up, and I made comments to my friends about how the speed of my new blinkers was enough to induce PTSD! And Jeff Cronenweth wanted to hear it HIMSELF before letting me go nuts! I can't believe how something SO INSIGNIFICANT wound up being put into a film of this caliber! The movie industry is somethin else!
- DonkeyFlixJanuary 1, 2026One Hour Photo nails the trifecta of great thriller filmmaking with its icy cinematography, unsettling sound design, and perfectly measured pacing. Robin Williams is genuinely haunting here, grounding every moment in quiet dread and sadness. This movie is so aggressively 2002 I felt like I should’ve been watching it on a translucent teal iMac.
- CubaneOctober 27, 2025Williams does an admirable job playing a psychologically disturbed man while the director seems hell-bent on checking off as many film school bingo board tropes as he can within the film's short runtime. The result is a film that is equal parts unsettling and annoying, I am entirely satisfied never watching or thinking about it again.
