Excellent film about an agoraphobic woman who works from her home for an IT company. A bit of a modern mix of Rear Window and Blow Out. An entertaining plot in which online privacy is nicely intertwined (and that also applies to the Covid lockdown). The film certainly doesn't take too long, has an exciting finale and Zoë Kravitz knows how to hold the attention in this largely one-woman show.

You can actually take the extremes out of the voting scale for this film: the only possible ratings are 2.5, 3 and 3.5 stars. Kimi is divided into two parts. The first is situated in an apartment that is as large as it is poorly insulated (and because it doesn't matter anyway, Zoe Kravitz leaves the windows open day and night), where the traumatized protagonist carries out her work as a tech analyst. (As an aside, an incident on "the Evergreen" is mentioned. That was that ship, wasn't it? I wasn't quite sure what that had to do with it.) During a workout, she listens to Billie Eilish's "Oxytocin" (we only hear the intro), an intense track with some apt lyrics to what will follow ("And what would people say / If they listen through the wall", "I wanne do bad things to you" etc.) The second half of [i ]Kimi[/i] has a somewhat different guise, both story-wise and stylistically. The pivot point is a beautiful scene in which Kravitz hears the audio fragment of a murder and at the same time the images of this flow through the screen. She then goes out and the camerawork is now an eye-catcher: beautifully portrayed the fear and yet tightly done. The downside here is the script. The fact that you suddenly get two hitmen sent at you in a luxury office raises eyebrows. I had no problem with that Kevin figure, I actually liked the fact that in addition to the high-tech digital closing situation, there is also just a fat guy with binoculars sitting in front of the window. The ending is not immediately credible but satisfying and here Soderbergh says goodbye to films like Blow-up and The conversation, if I'm not mistaken. Fine picture.

In the first half hour I had the tendency to turn it off, but I don't regret watching it all the way through. As slow as the start was, the more momentum was gained towards the end; pretty much from the moment she went outside things started to get really interesting. Well thought out plot and a good cast.
They could have used Kravitz better in The 355 (2022) instead of Chastain.
