Review of The Voyeurs (2021) by Jluis_001 — 16 Sep 2021

There will be a lot of talk about other films that have to do with a plot that involves voyeurism, but by doing so, you will be sinking this film even more due to completely wrong expectations and results.

I think it's a bad film, that tries to make use of a very cheap eroticism to hook the viewers because of its obvious lack of an intelligent and more interesting plot.

In any film, the viewers are voyeurs, the nature of cinema is like that, and what we have left is to react to what we see.

The same thing happens here in this film.

The story forces them to react when watching is no longer enough, and the way in which the protagonists, especially the female character, get into the lives of their entertainers, is to a certain extent absurd, because it feels completely built to force them to make it happen. This in order for the twists to work.

The whole story is built on Sydney Sweeney's character getting reasons to be unfaithful. Her partner Justice Smith couldn't be more irrelevant in this film.

Her character interferes in a marriage, causes an apparent suicide, and ends up destroying her relationship and causing another suicide by consummating her infidelity with the man she accused of being unfaithful in the first place, who, as the film mentions, was a depressed widower whom she stalked.

All of this happens in a way that is not only implausible but it feels just ridiculous and stupid. And reaches hilarious levels when the film reveals its plot twist that concludes with a totally unsatisfactory revenge climax.

So underwhelming.
