Review of The Voyeurs

The Voyeurs (2021)
3/10
Listless and absurd
13 September 2021
A young couple, Pippa and Thomas, discover that their neighbours are not at all privacy-conscious, allowing them to see all that happens in their apartment. They start spying on them, initially simply out of voyeurism. However, Pippa then starts meddling in the neighbours' lives, with dire consequences.

A film that is billed as a steamy thriller but for the most part it is pretty listless and tame, meandering aimlessly about. This results in the film taking about 20-30 minutes longer than it should.

When it finally does find a direction it is absurd and implausible. It seems so tangential and ridiculous that It feels like the writer generated it randomly.

Not much to recommend (though I didn't mind Sydney Sweeney...).

So much for "if you can't make a good movie, make a short movie".
