What to Know

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.

Kristen Yoonsoo Kim Vice 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 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Gemini feels like the first draft of a movie that could have been developed into something more resonant. Apr 12, 2018 Full Review Matthew Lickona San Diego Reader The word "beguiling" came to mind throughout. Rated: 2/5 Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Marten Carlson Consequence The faults of Gemini are in its screenplay, and Katz’s inability to sustain interesting character dynamics and maintain a consistent narrative. Rated: C+ Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Nick Johnston Vanyaland 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 Full Review Michele "Izzy" Galgana ScreenAnarchy I really enjoyed Gemini -- Katz deftly handled the weirdness of the industry in LA within a smart drama and mystery, also peppered with humor.

Joe W 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 09/18/23 Full Review Jeremy S 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! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Caroline A 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 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review zach g 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Tasteless drama, zero mystery... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
