One Hour Photo is presented in 1.85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen and it looks good. Gary Cole nails the retail manager (as he nails the office manager in Office Space). Owens, Sy's manager, and the two have a few very uncomfortable interactions throughout the movie. He has been one of my favorite actors to watch ever since I saw him on TV's "American Gothic". When I first saw the movie, I was happy to see Cole was in it. I also have to mention Gary Cole ( Office Space, The Gift) performance.
Watch for Dylan in the upcoming The Pirates of the Caribbean. Actually, other than "Kid #2" on an episode of Gilmore Girls in 2000, One Hour has been his only role. Williams and Nielsen worked great together.Īlso, I was very pleased with Dylan Smith's performance of Jakob Yorkin considering this is his first major role in a motion picture. At one point I felt like yelling at the television. Some of the scenes that these two did that made me squirm in my seat.
The scenes between Connie Nielsen and Robin Williams are terrifically awkward.

I can easily say that while the other actors in this movie did well, this movie would not have been nearly as good without Williams. His voice is very soothing and easy to listen to. Not only is his acting perfect, but the voiceovers he does throughout the movie are very well done. Williams is so contained in this movie that I actually forgot it was the hated Robin Williams I was watching. Holy cow, Robin Williams' performance is astoundingly good. Insomnia started to bring me around, but I've harbored a lot of hate for the man over the years. I almost hated him in Dead Poets Society, but I found I only mildly disliked him. I hated those stupid Comic Relief specials. I have never felt he was even remotely humorous. Let me start with this: I have never liked Robin Williams. So sit back, relax and grab your drinks and snacks because this movie is going to take you for a ride into madness. But do not fret! Old Sy knows everything and he intends to punish those who need to be punished. It seems that the Yorkins aren't as happy as their pictures show and there is a problem with the marriage. But, as we all know, appearances can be deceiving. Nina is a loving mother and Dylan is a sensitive and caring kid. Will Yorkin (Michael Vartin – Never Been Kissed, The Curve) owns his own business and provides well for the family. Apparently there are two very different opinions of Sy's place in the Yorkin family.īy all appearances, the Yorkins seem to be a very happy family. The Yorkins like think of Sy as only "Sy the photo guy". Sy likes to think of himself as Uncle Sy to the Yorkins. Sy has watched little Jakob (Dylan Smith) grow from a baby through the pictures he has developed for the Yorkin family. Nina Yorkin (Connie Nielsen – Gladiator, Mission to Mars) has been dropping off her family's film at Sy's lab for about 9 years. I was young and happy and someone cared enough about me to take my picture." Old Sy is the epitome of anal retentive when it comes to film developing because, as Sy says, "If pictures have anything to say, it's this: I was here, I existed. Sy has worked for Savmart for 11 or 12 years and he knows his stuff about film developing. Robin Williams ( Insomnia, Death to Smootchy) plays lonely Seymour "Sy" Parrish, a one hour photo technician at the Savmart super store. 2002, Region 1 (NTSC), 96 minutes, Rated R
