Retratos de una obsesión

Una película visualmente fría, internamente perturbadora, psicológicamente frágil, con un protagonista al que sólo te acercas antes de los créditos finales. Y ahí, la experiencia extraña y poco agradable se convierte en una moraleja que, sin embargo, no molesta sino que, al contrario, atrae profundamente. Lo cual es un punto positivo clave de la dirección de toda la película. Una pequeña obra notable y original con excelentes actores. (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.
