Review of Kimi

Kimi (2022)
7/10
Quite good - Minimal Soderbergh is the best Soderbergh
14 February 2022
Provocative, incredibly entertaining and stupidly efficient, Soderbergh does the best with a very simple story and concept. I love his experimental vein and, here again, the director shows that he doesn't have any problem in innovating, using different techniques.

One of the biggest pros of Kimi is that it's not afraid to feels small. It IS a small thriller. The main concept is familiar and it can be really predictable at times. It's also not afraid to feels like a TV movie sometimes, using some filming techniques that we are not used to see in cinema big productions. But Kimi is also a film with a big heart, with a very good interpretation from Zoë Kravitz and also with time for a cool, exciting and funny third act.

It doesn't develop a lot of things, but man...I even loved all the chaotic shaky camera illustrating what Angela was feeling but also what every one of us felt during COVID times. A big yes from me.
