What to Know

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.

Kimi | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christina Newland iNews.co.uk 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 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Kimi | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Guy Lodge 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. May 31, 2022 Full Review Kimi | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) 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. Mar 11, 2022 Full Review Kimi | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Daniel Allen Loud and Clear Reviews 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. Rated: 4/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Kimi | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews If you want a film to get your uneasiness flowing, look no further than Kimi.

Audience Member 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! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Bryan S Great movie. Zoe did great at playing a severely traumatized ptsd victim that was worst after the pandemic. It plays to how a-lot off people got use to being isolated and enjoyed the comfort and sense of protection your home gives you. People say the movie is slow and characters are shallow, I disagree. It portrayed normal people with normal feelings. It also shows the easy corruption of corporate America and the extent they would go to cover up bad doing of an Exec’. Bravo! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Stephen R Rubbish. Not worth watching. Boring Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review ben c I think I'm being generous with my rating. I waited to see if there was a plot twist or something that was going to make up for the time waiting for the story to develop but nothing. 🙄 oh well on to my next movie. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Iamwhoi M It's not a horrible moviie; but I didn't care about or like any of the characters. The movie is a bit sterile & boring. Honestly, I think a story about the subject of the recording would've been a way better movie than a story about the person who found the recording. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Giorgio G It's a surprisingly good low budget movie. There isn't any tough tension, except for close to the end, but it's still curious enough to drag you along all the way to an unexpected great finale! Besides Zoe there aren't any important actors, but she alone is quite capable of carrying the story. 7/10 points. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
