One Hour Photo follows the story of SavMart photo technician, Sy, The Photo Guy (Robin Willaims). However, although this employee initially seems to have a pleasant demeanour, he has developed (pun definitely intended) a rather unhealthy infatuation with two of his customers, Nina (Connie Nielsen) and her son, Jakob.
What’s even more disturbing, in order to pretend he is one of the family, it seems Sy uses his workplace as a means to aid his delusions and has been making copies of Nina’s photos for himself… since Jakob was a newborn.
The pacing not only helps build suspense throughout but also adds a great deal of realism to this thought-provoking drama, thriller which slowly begins to resemble that of a horror movie. However, what truly elevates this feature is the amazing acting talents of Williams who provides a marvellously, unsettling glimpse into the dark side of loneliness and obsession. Get Involved.
