#SYDNEY SWEENEY MOVIE#

Sydney Sweeney in a still from The Voyeurs. And sure enough, it begins to impact their relationship. But after a point, any sane viewer would throw up their hands and declare that Pippa and Thomas are crossing the line. Sure, we’re curious about the neighbours’ lives as well the dude seems to be cheating on his wife, and she appears to be clueless. While Pippa and Thomas’ dubious hobby intensifies every night, writer-director Michael Mohan straight-up refuses to scratch beneath the surface of the moral implications of their actions. Things only get weirder when Pippa realises that she gets off on it, and Thomas conveniently remembers that he has the necessary technical skills to eavesdrop on the neighbours’ conversations by creating a gizmo that shoots invisible beams across the street or whatever. Maybe they’re meant to be older than they seem? Who knows, but I was unable to shake the feeling that I’m watching one of those Flipkart ads in which kids playing uncles and aunties.Įven before they’ve had their first meal in the new house, Pippa and Thomas find themselves spying on the couple next door. So how they’re able to afford such swanky accommodation at their age is beyond me. Neither Pippa and Thomas nor their next-door neighbours, whom they give made-up names, look old enough to vote. Two 20-somethings named Pippa and Thomas, played by Sweeney and Justice Smith, move into a spectacular studio apartment in an undefined European city, and are almost immediately drawn to the fancy couple who live across the street from them. But with no idea what to do with Sweeney's magnificently mysterious aura, The Voyeurs builds to a final stretch in which it basically corners her into removing her clothes. The film certainly milks her newfound status as the sex symbol for kids who spend after-school hours twerking on Reels. While that film did an admirable job of capturing the angst that defined an entire generation, The Voyeurs’ erotic stylings and vaguely trashy European vibe prevent it from ever becoming more than what it is - a sub-standard morality tale about mass-dependence on technology.Īfter watching the opening moments of the film, in which the credits play out over shots of irises (get it?) and a sultry Sydney Sweeney walking along the street with synth music blaring in the background, you might wonder if you’ve mistakenly switched on an episode of Euphoria.
