B+ Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "Much of the film's atmosphere forms through the cinematography..." more... B+ Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington "...a kind of anti-thriller about the loneliness and desolation of the everyday..." more... B   Cincinnati Enquirer Margaret A. McGurk "Writer-director Matt Romanek takes care in his script to avoid turning Sy into a mere monster..." more... A- E! Online "...a picture show worth taking in." more...

A- New York Times Elvis Mitchell "...gripping but not wholly successful..." more... B   ReelViews James Berardinelli "Dark and unrepentant, this excursion into the epicenter of percolating mental instability is not easily dismissed or forgotten." more... B   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...(Robin) Williams...gives a performance that is riveting in its recessiveness and, as a consequence, truly, deeply scary." more... B   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...the consistent delicacy and emotional clarity of Williams' acting in One Hour Photo makes the picture impossible to dismiss." more... C+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...it's (Robin) Williams' movie and he dominates it..." more... B+ Slant Magazine Ed Gonzalez "...(Robin) Williams typically calls attention to himself..." more... B- USA Today Claudia Puig "...takes Robin Williams to darker and more complex places that we can't turn our eyes away from." more... B   * Yahoo!
