The faults of Gemini are in its screenplay, and Katz’s inability to sustain interesting character dynamics and maintain a consistent narrative.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 31, 2024

As far as recent neo-noir releases go, you really can’t go wrong with Gemini, as it’s an clever and compelling little movie with swell visuals and incredibly strong performances by Kravitz and Kirke.

| Oct 31, 2024

Gemini can prove to be a little bit vapid plot-wise, but the casting of Kirke and Kravitz makes the film addictively watchable.

| Oct 31, 2024

I really enjoyed Gemini -- Katz deftly handled the weirdness of the industry in LA within a smart drama and mystery, also peppered with humor.

| Oct 31, 2024

In straining to emulate something in the order of a traditional thriller, Katz and his team of long-time collaborators find themselves sliding perilously towards the formulaic.

| Nov 9, 2023

The overall tedium gives one plenty of time to imagine and wish for this trio in a far more worthy vehicle.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 30, 2021

The loneliness that permeates the film makes it not so much a mystery but more of a dreamlike love letter to popular culture and how it influences those serving it.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 24, 2020

Gemini is as much a sensory experience as a story-driven one, but thanks to an impressive performance by Kirke, it holds things together quite nicely.

| Jun 9, 2020

No aesthetic pleasures, however, could mask the wimpiness of the denouement's reliance on an old Agatha Christie trick, delivered to the disappointed viewer with zero emotional payoff.

| Jun 2, 2020

Gemini's utilization of professional (and in this case, underrated) actresses works to his advantage; the talented pair achieve an affinity sweet and enigmatic, cresting with the arch of an eyebrow or a longing gaze.

This film is the murder victim of its half-baked screenplay.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 22, 2019

According to one of the characters, three factors lead to a killer - motive, opportunity, and capacity. Katz overlooked all of them.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 1, 2019

...a stylish yet distressingly empty cinematic experience.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 30, 2019

GEMINI isn't going to be easily categorized, but it puts a premium on its storytelling while still remaining a chin-stroking puzzle.

| Original Score: B | Dec 13, 2018

I like slow contemplative movies. I love neo-noir films. These two great tastes together should yield dividends. Instead, GEMINI just disappointed.

| Nov 27, 2018

Gemini is a cool, often funny, and well-crafted Hollywood mystery poking a little fun at the industry that they certainly had to work within in order to create the movie itself.

| Nov 13, 2018

With its thumping music and chic shots of the city after dark, the film looks and feels the way a modern L.A. noir should. Yet in all the style, the film loses its substance.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 30, 2018

An exploration of the female universe... but that at no time ends up finding the right tone. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 24, 2018

A somewhat engaging but lightweight low-budget crime thriller shooting for the status of neo-noir.

| Original Score: B | Oct 22, 2018

Gemini essentially blends together the character dynamics from the last two Olivier Assayas films, then filters them through a sun-dazed, borderline apathetic sensibility, resulting in a film that always seems to be studying the backs of its own hands.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 20, 2018
