Review of Kimi (2022) by Jluis_001 — 12 Feb 2022
The Steven Soderbergh that gets presented in Kimi, is the Soderbergh that I tend to find really disappointing.
It's when the director just focuses on getting things done quickly without much to explore or salvage in the way of a narrative.
So I'm surprised it's getting good reviews from the professional critics, especially since regardless of the actuality in which the film is set, Soderbergh is basically ripping off De Palma and Hitchcock. If you know your thrillers, you know what movies I'm talking about.
Don't mistake that basic pragmatism for something deeper. This is a terribly mediocre thriller of a technological moral lecture that points nowhere.
