Watcher Review

The visuals, sound design, production design, color scheme, as well as Monroe's visceral central performance, all work together to express Julia's point of view, raising questions about Julia's credibility as the narrator of her own life. Chloe Okuno's "Watcher," a cold and elegant thriller, conveys Julia's state of mind in each element. The decor of the flat, the furnishings, the color of the drapes, Julia's red jumper and red tights, etc., are all carefully chosen in keeping with the idealized nature of the event. Cold fear permeates the movie. Even when there is silence, there is still sound. The confusion between the voyeur and the voyeur's "object" is the subject of "Watcher." She returns his gaze when he does. He is aware of her, and she is aware of him. She too is a "watcher". Boundaries become hazy. Every waking minute, he intrudes into her life. The fact that no crime has been committed, however, is scary.
