Starring Robin Williams, Connie Nielsen, Dylan Smith and Eriq La Salle
A lonely employee of a one-hour photo lab becomes obsessed with a young suburban family and imagines himself a part of it. His obsession soon becomes dangerous as he learns his perfect imaginary family isn't so perfect.
Yet another example at the greatness of the late, great Robin Williams and the diversity of his talent, this film shows off the comedians dark side. His performance makes it so easy to relate and sympathize with his character, who is clearly not well. You find yourself condemning, yet understanding his actions from beginning to end.
The story is intriguing and enough to make the film worth the watch, but it is Williams' performance that pushes it from good to great. His focus and meticulousness in both the developing of photos and his obsessive behavior adds to create a character that is hard to forget.
Robin Williams took selfless before it was cool…
This movie reminded me why it was so hard to hear of Robin Williams' death. He wasn't just a comedian. He was a great actor who had a range of talent that is hard to find. While these roles are much darker than how people want to remember him, I believe they are essential to completing the picture of who he really was. His career is an image of all aspects of our lives put on display. He wasn't just the best parts. He was also the bad and brooding.
My Rating: 7/10
