    Redundant and pointless ........................

    This very shallow study of voyeurism, gets progressively more tiresome with each passing minute. Extreme closeups of blurred images permeate the film. There is zero character development, and very little dialog. A news reporter doing a story on the surveillance industry becomes addicted to spying on sexy females. Unfortunately that is the entire movie, with his need for through the lens gratification steadily increasing, along with the viewer's boredom. "Sex Through a Window" plays more like an invasion of privacy documentary than a feature film, and unfortunately it's entertainment value is never fully developed. - MERK
