The Playlist
Soderbergh’s direction is, per usual, tight and efficient (as is his editing – it runs a lean, mean 89 minutes). - 80
IGN
With a simple but effective script and some fun visual experiments, it's an entertaining conspiracy thriller set in (and very much about) the post-pandemic world. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
What in lesser hands might have been just another tiresome COVID-19 quickie, locking us into a reality we’re all desperate to escape, becomes a tautly suspenseful nail-biter in Kimi, thanks to tirelessly eclectic director Steven Soderbergh and seasoned screenwriter David Koepp. - 75
The A.V. Club
When this film is over, viewers with voice-activated smart TVs are liable to look around for the long-dormant physical remote. - 75
IndieWire
The sheer banality of Angela’s cat-and-mouse game against the corporate assassins on her trail is chilling enough to compensate for the movie’s limited scope, and Soderbergh creates such a vivid sense of plein air claustrophobia — of being caught in a net as wide as a wifi signal — that he can stage an intense action set piece in a public/private space as small as the back seat of a van. - 75
Paste Magazine
Zoë Kravitz playing an endearingly awkward agoraphobe is always entertaining to watch, and often elevates the film in spots where it otherwise might flounder. - 70
Slashfilm
The plot grows more elaborate and fantastical, but the film itself has its feet firmly on the ground, and Soderbergh seems solely committed to giving us a quick, mid-budget, ultra-sturdy thriller with no pretensions — the type Hollywood doesn't really make anymore. - 70
Screen Rant
Soderbergh fans and those looking for a slick thriller should be inclined to check KIMI out when they get a chance.
