I liked the overall tone, aesthetics, cast, acting, concept... But the ending was too much. The unreal twists have kind of broken the spell for me. I'd love to see this movie with a simpler more realistic third act.

The story gets preposterous at the end, I feel like it had one too many twists, literally just one less at the end and it'll be fine by me. Everything else was done brilliantly, not to say it would have contended for movie of the year but for what it was trying to do, everything was good, the acting, the directing, casting, the pace of the movie was well put out. Which is why I'm confused with all the twists at the end, because the movie was interesting enough without them.

It's just very fictional, like a watt pad novel my friends used to love reading in high school. As a whole, feels like it was stuck in-between two minds, whether to make it an erotica or not. The illogical twists and the stand out sex scene made it feel like they were trying, but there wasn't enough of it to consider it a "skin flick"(lack of better words). I almost like it as a regular movie, too mediocre to make it a priority on your watch list yeah but still worth a watch. It just feels like an adult movie that didn't want to be explicit, which is why that Seb and Sydney Sweeney scene confused me, it's welcomed, just confusing.

This feels like a throwback to 90s erotic thrillers and I don't mind that. They're usually pretty entertaining regardless of quality and The Voyeurs mostly follows this. The film drags a little bit in the middle, but some wild twists keep things interesting. I kinda wish the film ended after the first big twist because the second was pretty ridiculous. The atmospheric cover of Eyes Without a Face is fantastic and honestly makes the film worth watching just for that. I can't get it out of my head.

Oh and my god what is wrong with Justice Smith's voice. Completely took me out of the movie.

Overall the movie was enjoyable. Production and cinematography looked great. All 4 leads did a very good job. The main couple was likable & believable and the 2nd couple were attractive enough that you could imagine people would be checking them out.

I also like the 'Eye' theme throughout. From the sublime opening credits, song choices, Pippa's job, to the scene when Pippa and Seb first meet we get a very artsy shot of just her eye, then his. It was all very well done.

There were a few things that occurred that I didn't see coming and I was very curious to see how it would play out. Also no spoilers, but I did actually like what I thought was going to be the main ending at the gallery. But then we got another 5-10 minute twist ending and that, IMO, let the film down a little bit. Sometimes less is more.

But overall a recommend.

This move started out fun and taboo... they're exploring/discovering a fetish. Then there's some interaction outside of the secret. Then the intervention but finally the obstacle was out of her way so her true flawed and depraved imperfect self could act on her real desire. The story here is really getting intriguing and it's different, as messed up as it is, but I'm all in at this point. Then the predictable happens, not in a bad way, just expected... but then it really sinks... next up cliche, not so subtle twist, cliche, cliche, followed by a try-hard wanna be profound, but completely failed, ending. This was a masterpiece for 75-80% of the movie and then it completely fell apart. This movie goes from a 9-10/10 to a 6/10 all in the last 25 minutes of the movie. I suspect some higher up just had to put their hand in the pot and completely ruined the movie.

Not only is "The Voyeurs" the kind of movie Steven Soderbergh makes, I also wish that he had made it. Michael Haneke, too. These auteurs would have found a style befitting of the material that would have made it seem plausible, that would have kept us engrossed, and that, hopefully, would not have required the ridiculous, jarring twists and turns that the movie ends on.

The young couple move into an apartment in Montreal with windows that look directly into an apartment across the street. The very first time they look, they watch the couple in that apartment have sex. They continue to watch, get turned on, and even go so far as planting a listening device.

The climactic twist isn't entirely predictable. I wasn't surprised. But still, Soderbergh or Haneke could have put more of a point on it. Here it was a bit "meh", as my generation likes to say.

I really think that the twists and turns that come after were put in as an afterthought when the director realised nobody was going to buy what he had sold up to that point. It almost feels like a consolation prize, as though he's saying, "I agree that sucked because I don't have the skill to do it the way Haneke would have... oh well, here's some extra tawdry garbage."

He should have just made an erotic thriller. This is more like "Sliver" than "Benny's Video" or even "The Girlfriend Experience". And an erotic thriller would have been more fun. The attempts at seriousness or social commentary come to nothing, and in the final act, are totally abandoned.

The story is decent. Doesn't exactly keep you on your toes but does a decent job at entertaining you. There's liberal use of sexually explicit scenes which is intended to carry the film when the plot gets slow. The climax is somewhat unexpected which is nice.

I couldn't stand the main actor to talk like he had a potato in his mouth.

So distracting to hear him talking like that the whole movie.

I thought he had a problem with his voice...

This was categorized in Amazon as young adult and drama. What?!? This is a seriously dark and twisted erotic thriller with lots of disturbing things happening. I almost didn't watch thinking this was a teenage movie but it's not. Very much for adults only. I feel the reviews are harsh. It's really like two movies in one.

Terrible.

I can't get over justice Smith trying to put on a deep voice like a 12 year old.

Early on in 'The Voyeurs' I thought we were in for the typical 'Rare Window' storyline we have seen dozens of times before. How wrong I was. This film is very different to that, and has so much more going on. This is one of those rare hidden gems where you see an IMDb rating of only 5.8/10 and could easily discard it, but if you do give it a chance you are so glad you did. I had a great time with this movie.

The movie is hyper-sexual. Early on it implies that it is going to be quite modest, but this is very much misleading, and from there the film becomes very erotic for almost the duration. It feels very much like 'Basic Instinct' where there is a genuinely interesting story taking place and the eroticism is just a part of the ingredients.

The film is a little longer than average for this type of movie, falling just short of two hours. I found myself so interested and invested in the story that the extra time didn't bother me at all, and instead allowed the movie to move at a more natural pace.

The final act of this movie is bonkers. It throws everything it has at the kitchen wall, and most of it sticks. The twists and turns are authentically shocking and really caught me off guard. I can't recommend this film highly enough. Please see it. 9/10.

There are some positive and negative things about The Voyeurs. The positives would be the storyline that is captivating, the clever twists and turns even though not everybody seems to agree about that and the decent cinematography. I saw some of the twists coming but not all of them and that's always a bonus. The negatives would be the acting of Justice Smith, what an annoying voice that guy has, and the acting of Sydney Sweeney and Ben Hardy, which I found both irritating to watch. But overal the positives outweigh the negatives so I did enjoy this mystery thriller. It's worth a watch but could have been better with other actors.

From interesting to derivative to dumb to ridiculous.

Yup I used it all. The movie is interesting titillation but reaches it's height on the climax I reached for my pen 15 times. I wish I had more to say but I just came for the show. It really took me for a ride, a bumpy ride. Never before have I ever been so quickly turned on by an optomologist, she had my glasses steaming and I don't even wear them. I would say a story holds this together but the story is flaccid at best and hard to grip just when it needs to. But Sydney Sweeney delivers a good time I stand erect to give her applause for a great performance. I like Justice Smith in a Pokemon movie but I don't know why we as the audience are supposed to believe he could land a girl like Sydney's character. Overall I was on the edge of my pants I mean seat. I was moist with anticipation as the ending approached but felt like a boob for not seeing the twist. I recommend you watch this when no one is home you will have a better time unless you want to immerse yourself in the theme of the movie, but it should be a good time. In fact yes it was a good time but I've had better.

The movie might be better on a second or third viewing but I would recommend a suitable refractory period.

'The Voyeurs' feels kind of like a 90's erotic thriller, albeit one on a much bigger budget. Maybe there's a little bit of homage to that long-departed era?

To the plot: A couple moves into a new apartment together and can look across the way into the next building where they see, on their first night, a couple having sex. It becomes a bit of an obsession from there (one that would have been averted if either apartment had had blinds!) and things quickly take a dark turn into a world of voyeurism and exhibitionism.

'The Voyeurs' is decent entertainment, with a few twists and turns...even though it stretches the bounds of credulity to somewhere close to breaking point.

Sydney Sweeney is the main star of this Amazon Studios production, and if your happen to like seeing her with little or no clothes on, this is a movie you should check out. There are multiple sex scenes.

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.

I did actually think this was a half decent film - it's definitely watchable and has an interesting storyline. I do feel there were twists - to say there weren't is silly... there were.

The ending as another reviewer said was a bit umm rubbish - and very unbelievable.

But the concept of the film was different and it did keep me hooked - there weren't any sort of 'oh wow!' moments more 'ohhh ok' ...it's a solid 6/10.

I'm a little indifferent about this film.

I watch the movie because Sydney Sweeney and Justice Smith were in it. Two actors that I come to enjoy and they were really good in it together.

The story was really good too. If the bottom-line plot is that vengeance is an artform, then this movie has an ending that's almost a masterpiece.

However, the story could have been handled better. The movie was a little too over reaching with the trivia (like the fact that one of the Voyeurs is an eye doctor). Things I feel that should have come off as subtle seem to be slapping me in the face whenever I turn around.

The actors were pretty good at keeping us in the moment but not good enough for me not to see what was coming next in this predicable erotic thriller.

As an erotic thriller however its top notch and it had its melodramatic moments that hit in a cool way.

When will I ever learn? Amazon originals you've never heard of are almost guaranteed to be terrible. This is no exception.

It's like a very slightly naughty version of Rear Window, made by someone who's never seen Rear Window. Or seen a rear. Or looked through a window.

I thought the beginning of the movie was interesting but honestly not good. The movie really picked up in the second half.. the twists really made the movie for me, personally.

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".

Don't lie to yourself. 95% of the people who want to watch this are here to see Sydney Sweeney's assets and nothing else. For those fans, you got what you paid for. Her eye candy alone makes this movie deserving of an audience. Now, for those who decided to watch this movie from start to end without fast forwarding to just the scenes with Sydney Sweeney showcasing her goods, you will be happy to find a movie with an actual plot. For all you Haters with high expectations, I want to remind you all that this movie is not Gone with the Wind. Therefore, those with low expectations will be blown away at this movie's high production value, decent acting, and interesting plot with a good ending. Those who hate this movie need to get their eyes checked for multiple reasons. The Voyeurs is exactly what it sets out to be. If you are looking for anything else, you came to the wrong movie. Worth the watch and even a few rewinds.

A decent thriller story, not new have seen it before but the prespective is better as the topic has aged well. If you are a advent thriller mystery fan the plot twist is very predictable right from the begining but,.. but the ending is a surprise !! And last not the least the steamy hot scenes do hit the spots well :P ... I would recommend for a lazy sunday afternoon watch.
