Kimi Reviews
Zoë Kravitz is at her best in this compelling Hitchcockian film, that critiques Big Tech's ability to track our every movement.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 19, 2024
A long-overdue starring showcase for the bewitching Zoë Kravitz [...] here taking to the solo spotlight with an agile, unfussed air of can’t-be-bought-or-faked cool.

It's kind of an unglamorous spy film, and my favorite parts of it were when Steven Soderbergh was making fun of how people talk online.

Really well-made. If you're a cinema fan, it's a joy to watch...

Soderbergh’s artistry is, at this point, all compulsion. His restless need to create is perfect, business-wise, for the age of “content,” less so if one hopes for more.

Without the exhausting mantle of self-prescribed importance, Kimi has successfully captured how the pandemic, for many, has felt like watching an invisible hand slowly chip away at their lives.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 19, 2022
Revisiting themes he has previously dealt with in films such as Side Effects and Unsane, Soderbergh presents a fresh and brilliantly acted twist on the voyeuristic psychological thriller sub-genre.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2022
Soderbergh taps into modern fears and does it to expose timeless truths about who we really are. The players change, the technology changes, the rules of the game change but the game doesn't.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 18, 2022
A treat, an elegant, stripped-back film, if one with a strange message for a movie released via streaming.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 17, 2022
Puts a thrillingly contemporary spin on a vintage paranoia-drenched premise.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 17, 2022
This is Zoë Kravitz’s vehicle, and she delivers a smart, empathetic and badass performance in this nifty gem about a woman who has to step outside in more ways than one.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 16, 2022
I don’t want to oversell the thing, but neither do I want to understate the pleasures of a smart, compact, expertly crafted tale that understands what makes a good streaming movie different from one you’d see in a theater.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 16, 2022
Soderbergh makes the story into a tidy 89-minute suspense yarn that doesn’t exactly produce thrills and chills but efficiently guides you through a labyrinth of technological caves and passageways to a satisfying end.

Kimi is a nail-biting thrill ride lean, sharp, and masterfully made. But beyond its cool exterior and prickly protagonists, it's a gentle cry to our better angels.

This one summons up a similar sense of dread and doom like "Contagion," but on a much smaller scale.
| Original Score: A- | Feb 12, 2022
"Kimi" is a small movie that is just as big as it needs to be.
| Original Score: B | Feb 11, 2022
Koepp’s script builds up to a ludicrous climax, but Kravitz’s convincingly disturbed performance keeps the film on the right side of realism.
| Feb 10, 2022
The film extends into impactful hyperbole the tensions inherent in being subjects of and subjects to incessant surveillance.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 10, 2022
Its a low-budget, high-concept thriller thats refreshingly contemporary on the surface, even though its pretty conventional at its core.
| Feb 10, 2022
Kimi threads its increasingly tense interactions with a modern melancholy.
