Photo Obsession

Film esthétiquement froid, intérieurement troublant, psychologiquement fragile avec un héros avec lequel on se rapproche seulement vers la fin du générique. C'est là que cette expérience étrange et pas très agréable devient une morale qui, au contraire, ne fait pas enrager, mais touche profondément. C'est la clé positive de la direction de tout le film. Une petite œuvre remarquable et originale avec d'excellents acteurs. (07/02/2005)

Mr. Parrish and his peculiar love for a fully functional family, with whom he experienced the last ten years through imagination and mainly photos. The actors were great, the music atmospheric, but unfortunately without a significant idea. Mark Romanek did not step into the Hollywood world very well, which was quite evident in his future assignments. (29/03/2006)

Decent, subtly crafted psychothriller that relies on Robin Williams' character acting. All other actors are interchangeable, but thanks to Williams' virtuosity, a disquieting, dark film about loneliness and the loss of life goals of an embittered man in the middle of a metropolis was born. The border between eccentricity and sociopathy is sometimes very thin... The screenplay is not that inventive, so it remains at three, albeit strong, stars. Overall impression 65%. (22/12/2007)

I have said it several times and it is simply true. Robin Williams was much better in his serious roles than in comedic ones. Here he once again delivers a great character, although it is unfortunately too flat due to the script, just like the story, which brings a few good ideas, but ultimately it is not something that dazzles you, that captivates you.
