Review of The Voyeurs

The Voyeurs (2021)
7/10
Who's ... watching

I almost went and used a title from a rap band called 2 Live Crew. The problem would have been that the title contains foul language. And while the movie is not made for kids anyway, I couldn't use that language here of course.

That aside, the movie starts off slow but builds up to something really interesting. Yes elements of Hitchcock are present (Rear Window), but it does take the whole thing to a new and sort of different level. But just as it reaches its peak (position) ... the movie decides to go further. And it tries to be quite clever about it. Which backfires - and almost ruins the whole movie.

As the title suggest, there will be nudity. A lot of it - I am not judging or saying how you should feel about it. Just giving you the information so you can decide if the movie contains material you do not want to handle.

Justice Smith is the most sympathetic character in this - and you kind of wish he stayed with a Pokemon. Other movies (references) aside, one other problem the movie has, is that we do not feel that much for the other protagonist, his girlfriend. I won't go into details and maybe you feel differently (especially because she is so beautiful) - but I had to point it out. The movie had great potential - shame it did not opt to harness most of it. Society be damned.
