Virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa have become a major part of households, but the question of how much information they hold is a point of debate. Steven Soderbergh’s new drama, Kimi, will introduce viewers to a new perspective on virtual assistants.

Zoë Kravitz plays tech worker Angela Childs who works on a virtual assistant program called “Kimi.” The plot deepens when she discovers that Kimi’s voice recording feature has captured evidence of a homicide. When she tries to report the crime, she learns that her CEO, Brad Haslin, was behind the crime, making herself the new target.

Angela, who lives with agoraphobia, tries to put her own CEO in jail. While seeking justice, she takes matters into her own hands but has to face the one thing she fears most – leaving her apartment. 

This movie does well at portraying agoraphobia – the fear of leaving your house and going into crowded spaces. Having accurate representation for lesser-known disorders is important because it can be informative to those who are not familiar with them, spreading awareness.

While this movie is good, it would be much better as a series. With its suspense, it could have good cliffhangers at the end of each episode and draw in many viewers.
