"Only now, at a time of slow-motion crisis in the industry (will audiences come back to theaters?) and seriously over-inflated budgets, Soderbergh's latest little movie, the nimble and sinister cyber-age corporate thriller "Kimi," plays as an object lesson in showing us a way forward. It's a welcome reminder that less, in the movies, can sometimes be more. It's also an art-suspense pastiche that's clever enough to hook you. More than half the film is set in a spacious, second-floor renovated industrial loft condo in Seattle, where Angela Childs (Zoë Kravitz), a waifish millennial in a wavy bob of blue hair, stares out her window, taking in the late-morning sun as she checks out the neighbors in the apartment building across the street (a couple of them look back)."
