Voyeur Reviews
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.

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
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.
| Nov 30, 2017
Everyone's at cross purposes, the subjects' words as loaded with unspoken intent as the directors' damning comparative edits.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 27, 2017
It's hard to come away from the film feeling anything but disdain and a twinge of embarrassment toward Gay Talese.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 26, 2017
A provocative portrait of a journalistic train wreck.

... packed beyond vacancy with discussions of weighty topics like authorial intent, truth in journalism, and media manipulation.

"Voyeur" leaves you intrigued but not fully satisfied. There's a third voyeur here: the movie itself. It keeps staring, trying to make sense of the bizarre tale it shows us, but it never quite breaks through the glass and touches it.
