The Voyeurs

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
