Review of Kimi

Kimi (2022)
6/10
Soderbergh film
18 February 2022
Kimi is a computer assistant similar to Alexa. Angela Childs (Zoë Kravitz) works for the company to monitor individual Kimi recordings. With her agoraphobia, she is unable to go out like going to the dentist for needed dental work. She thinks that she has discovered a crime in one of the recordings.

Director Steven Soderbergh delivers a well-made film. For the first half, I thought this was Soderbergh doing COVID filming with Kravitz doing mostly solo scenes. I wouldn't mind that. I appreciate somebody making it work and it fits the character. That's why I don't like the office section. It doesn't fit the character. She should try to go out and fail. It heightens her vulnerability if she can't leave. This could have been Soderbergh's Rear Window. As it stands, the start is a bit slow but it's a fine thriller.
