Reception
Critical reviews have been mostly positive. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an 82% approval rating, based on 28 reviews with an average rating of 6.5/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Absorbing, unpredictable, and overall compelling, 'Voyeur' is a singularly unusual and utterly memorable documentary experience." Charles Bramesco wrote in 'Vulture', "Their documentary forms a sharp image of the thornier side to investigative journalism". Jordon Hoffman in 'Vanity Fair' called it "a marvelous documentary" and said the film was "packed beyond vacancy with discussions of weighty topics like authorial intent, truth in journalism, and media manipulation." 'IndieWire' had a more critical review, writing "'Voyeur' is so eager to tell a good story that it tells the wrong one".
