Critics Consensus

A kaleidoscopic neo-noir, Gemini is a visually striking murder mystery with a convoluted but largely compelling plot and an impressive showing from Lola Kirke.

Professional reviewers will like this movie because of the diversity and all female actors. For the rest of us looking for simple entertainment, those things matter little. Movie is a little boring. Acting is marginal. Budget to hire actors was clearly too low. Also, plot is contrived and in places makes no sense. Where did the motorcycle leather outfit come from? For a young, kind of naive assistant, she had some mean and unexpected riding skills.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Top ten worst movies I've ever seen in my 47 years of existence. Acting was terrible, plot terrible, screenplay and entire production- absolute garbage!

In a city overflowing with people who want it all, when you're famous, are you ever really safe? Even if it involves twins Lola Kirke, Zoe Kravitz, John Cho, Michelle Forbes, and Jessica Parker Kennedy star in a Neo-noir thriller by Aaron Katz Gemini focuses on a celebrity starlet named Heather and her tenacious assistant Jill One night though Jill stumbles onto a dead body and she becomes the prime suspect So she pieces the puzzle together herself finding more than she can chew even questioning her relationship with Heather The film is very slick looking, has that soft jazz music, and creates a beautiful mood Although it seems more interested in building an atmosphere than creating actual tension and suspense The twist i didn't see coming but it kinda undermines everything else that came before Squanders the plot of how things could've turned out In the end though this shows the scary side of being famous and drawing so much attention it actually causes fans to literally live out their idols So much of it can be overwhelming there's little room for freedom let alone friends It also serves as a love letter to popular culture and how it influences those serving it This is a sensory experience but no emotional payoff But the film does cover the emotional traps in an industry which most are so blind to Great work from Kravitz and Kirke yet sadly Cho is heavily underused

Kirke and Kravitz kick off this faux feeling film by displaying the most awkward, seemingly forced onscreen relationship I've ever witnessed. Every scene from theirs on felt like watching a group of theater kids trying out improve for the first time as the audience squirms in discomfort. Zero chemistry amongst the characters, poorly delivered and untimely lines, excruciating pauses, HORRIFIC styling — including the "disguise" (which actually made me laugh out loud)… Gemini is a parody of a Hallmark thriller. I'm convinced that Disney Channel actors from the early 2000s might have given us a more believable performance than the two-part daytime TV acting we received. The plot and all further context do not deserve to be recognized in any way. Bless those who have low enough IQs to find anything valuable or worthy of praise in this flaming tragedy of a film. -20/5

I liked the cinematography and the score. The first act is good, definitely not great, but good. The second act is boring. It drags beyond belief. When you reach the twist, it will annoy you and the film just ends. No resolution here whatsoever. Could have used another 7-8 minutes at the least but instead we get shots of the beach and palm trees in the wind lol.

Gemini feels like the first draft of a movie that could have been developed into something more resonant.

The word "beguiling" came to mind throughout.

Kirke, so wonderful in "Mistress America," and Cho, of the underappreciated "Columbus," are endlessly fascinating to watch, but the gossamer-thin material underserves them.

Rated: 1.5/4

Vague Visages

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.

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

Rated: 2/4

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.
