Two men in chairs by the open hearth; photos move in front of their heads.

Reviews
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
tavm At One View is one of two shorts in Volume 5 of The International Tournee of Animation directed by Paul De Nooijer. The other one is I Should See. Two men are sitting in a chair reading newspapers. Then, through stop-motion photography, we see the chairs moving with the men still sitting down. The men stop to face us. They are now showing photos of each others faces in front of their own. The photos are now moving, again through stop-motion photography. Then we see slides of these photos shuffling automatically. This and the other scenes mentioned above continues for about 5 minutes. Then, at the end, the narrator, who's been speaking all this time, mentions how photography is basically trickery as we see the two men disappear in thin air. The end. Interesting if a bit pretentious, At One View is certainly worth seeing once as an experiment in stop-motion.
