Critics Consensus

A housebound thriller with a 21st century spin, KIMI finds director Steven Soderbergh in crowd-pleasing form -- thanks in no small part to an outstanding performance from Zoë Kravitz.

Audience Says

KIMI has some interesting ideas, but the story isn't very original -- and some viewers might find it hard to get past the main character's behavior.

Zoë Kravitz is at her best in this compelling Hitchcockian film, that critiques Big Tech's ability to track our every movement.

Rated: 4/5

Film of the Week

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.

Steven Soderbergh ’s Kimi is a COVID-influenced technology thriller that is the director’s best film in years, with a likeable and introverted performance from Zoë Kravitz.

Kimi is another example of Soderbergh's ability to handle stories that revitalize narrative structures from the past and update them with contemporary problems. [Full review in Spanish]

Short, punchy, and satisfying with a relevant, modern day twist. The elements of Seattle are authentic for the most part, including the Link Light Rail, Sound Transit busses, Columbia Tower, and street signs. But, I had to laugh at how unrealistically sunny it seemed. Also, her apartment is in LA. Anyway, still worth a watch!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I thought this was dull until the middle when the things become happening. I enjoyed after all though I don't know about her acting style. There are so many questions and holes on the plot, but nice to be imperfect sometimes.

Awfully underrated and undermined. Sitting on the edge of the seat for straight 90 minutes, definitely recommend.

Looks good from the start but then the plot holes, bad acting, stilted dialogue and loose ends bring the score well below what one would expect from Mr. Soderbergh. How this movie garnered such high critic scores on Rotten Tomatoes beggars belief.

A cinematographic clinic, as usual from Soderbergh, but it’s really hard to connect with such a rude and self-absorbed protagonist.

A very nice, short, concise, and contained thriller that captures different anxieties authentically. Zoe Krawitz is really good in the movie, and gave me "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" vibes with parts of her character and performance. I did love the element of Angela (Zoe) being presented with the dilemma of having to push herself through her anxiety in order to do the right thing after finding out about something awful. This presents thrilling moments when it's called upon. I am also a big fan of "character staying inside" movies. Secret Window, Rear Window, and more. This is a very good one. A nice mystery in this thriller. I loved Zoes character Angela because she was really interesting because her situation offered something different to this movie which enhanced it big time. Pacing is good in my opinion, and the run time is so short that the movie didn't overstay its welcome. Really well directed by Soderbergh, again. If you don't know what to watch, but you want to watch something good that isn't too overbearing with the runtime, then Kimi is for you. Thank you!
