It's the cinematic equivalent of a selfie.April 06, 2018
Although rife with wry nods to familiar tropes and meta-commentary on the making of mysteries, Gemini is not so much an ironic perversion of the genre as a woozy, Instagram-y evocation.April 05, 2018
Kirke, so wonderful in "Mistress America," and Cho, of the underappreciated "Columbus," are endlessly fascinating to watch, but the gossamer-thin material underserves them.April 05, 2018
Writer/director Aaron Katz's Gemini is an engaging modern noir, until it completely falls apart with the revelation of its central mystery.April 05, 2018
It is among the emptiest movies I've ever seen, beginning with a production design filled with sets in roomy designer houses with no personality whatsoever (and that's probably the point).April 06, 2018
The word "beguiling" came to mind throughout.March 31, 2018
It's a variation on a formula laced with a hipster-ish vibe that keeps undercutting itself with bitterness and bemused dread: Forget it, Jake, it's Silverlake.April 05, 2018
[Kirke] possesses an endearing, thoroughly non-actressy quality. She feels completely real and unrehearsed, like she's saying the lines for the first time.April 20, 2018
Witty, well-acted and knowing noir about a murder in LaLa Land.April 05, 2018
A slow - and I mean ssslllooowww - murder mystery...April 12, 2018
Gemini feels like the first draft of a movie that could have been developed into something more resonant.April 05, 2018
Although it has a modern visual style and a mise en scène more in tune with The Neon Demon and Mulholland Drive, Aaron Katz's very enjoyable Gemini is one of the most laid-back Los Angeles mystery films since Robert Altman's The Big Goodbye.
