“Kimi”: Film Review Podcast
Posted: December 28th, 2022 | Filed under: Cinema, Film Reviews Podcast | 1 Comment »
What could be more contemporary than a thriller about a worker culling data for a new techno startup, finding something disturbing, becoming the hunted, and then being chased by Russkies with help from some technofreak sitting in his pad in front of a bunch of screens?
So, yeah, that’s what we have here.
“Kimi” directed by the estimable Steven Soderbergh.
You can stream it on HBO Max.
Zoe Kravitz is seriously excellent as the OCD, agoraphobic computer nerd who hears something disturbing that might be a serious crime.
She reports it to her company.
She becomes the hunted, needing guile and wits to try to survive.

Chuck,
Loved the film but can’t believe you didn’t mention the obvious influence of Hitchcock’s ‘Rear Window’, even if Angela’s issues are much more serious than a broken leg.
Love your critiques, usually watch the movies you review,
Best,
Barry
