United Kingdom | Empire | "Williams is revelatory in a solid genre picture that opens strongly but fails to quicken the pace (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" | POS |
United States | Variety | "[It] provides Robin Williams with one of his creepiest, atypical roles, and the comic star responds with an unusually restrained performance that is, in the end, quite moving" | POS |
United States | AV Club | "Has a clean, antiseptic chilliness reminiscent of a Kubrick film. But too often, the director's stark visuals underline the naked simplicity of his story" | NEU |
United States | SFGATE | "The thinking part of this thriller needs work. It's not nearly as intelligent, thoughtful or penetrating as it promises to be." | NEU |
United Kingdom | The Guardian | "A very entertaining, if overdesigned movie." | POS |
United States | Miami Herald | "For all its merits, One Hour Photo winds up as just another exercise in genre, although an assured and effective one." | NEU |
United States | ReelViews | "Dark and unrepentant, this excursion into the epicenter of percolating mental instability is not easily dismissed or forgotten." | POS |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "Unfortunately, One Hour Photo lives down to its title. Thanks largely to Williams, all the interesting developments are processed in 60 minutes -- the rest is just an overexposed waste of film." | NEU |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "An absorbing and unsettling psychological drama." | POS |
