Voyeur Reviews
This isn't the first documentary made by people without the journalist gene, but their lack of initiative is appalling.

An on-the-spot chronicle of a journalistic scandal...
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 17, 2019
Voyeur makes apt use of a storytelling device more commonly associated with fiction: the unreliable narrator.

There were so many different turns from where the documentary started to where it ended, it was actually really fascinating.

If documentaries are supposed to highlight shadowed parts of society, Voyeur shines a light on a decidedly disturbing and dark story.

Documentary directors Myles Kane and Josh Koury skillfully reflect this game of complicity and suspicion, alternating interviews and scenes of daily life. [Full review in Spanish]

I still heartily recommend Voyeur on the strength of its subject matter, as it transcends any quibbles I have with the execution.
| Dec 10, 2017
Voyeur also gains whole other layers beyond what directors Myles Kane and Josh Koury likely intended, simply because of the time in which it's being released.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 8, 2017
Offbeat, mature docu has lots of sex, language.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2017
By the film's end you may well find yourself shocked that both men allowed the directorial duo to keep filming for as long as they did.
| Original Score: B- | Dec 2, 2017
The result is a remarkable profiling of two people who, Voyeur suggests, have far more in common than either would imagine.
| Original Score: A- | Dec 2, 2017
These cameramen are journalists.
| Dec 2, 2017
The film is a bit of self-referential jumble which works best as a thinkpiece about the Faustian deal between writer and subject.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2017
The documentary is fascinating in an admittedly prurient way for the first half or so, then shifts and becomes compelling in an even larger, more relevant context.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 1, 2017
Enthralling look at literary lion Gay Talese.
| Nov 30, 2017
In that discomfortingly close range between the unlikeliest of friends, and between rapture and repulsion, the film finds its compelling edge.
| Nov 30, 2017
Uneven but often strangely compelling.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 30, 2017
The question of what exactly to do with all this material escapes the filmmakers, just as it did Talese.
| Nov 30, 2017
Ostensibly a portrait of looking, the movie only sees its own reflection.
| Original Score: C | Nov 30, 2017
It's an entertainingly desperate joust, playing out beneath defiantly unattractive lighting.
