"KIMI" is a compact, straightforward genre thriller. Through the perspective of women, the film combines the traditional power monopoly society with the emerging era of epidemics and big data, and uses a highly suspenseful scene to simulate an emergency that closely follows the characteristics of the times.
Soderbergh started from the interpersonal relationship and overly self-protective psychology during the epidemic blockade, combined with the most popular home artificial intelligence device, to write a very down-to-earth crime suspense script. What the audience sees are all the hot topics of the moment: the awakening of women's consciousness in the post-MeToo era, the transformation of the working environment under the epidemic, the ubiquitous technological surveillance, the anti-mandatory vaccine movement, etc., but Soderbergh is not a speculator. The topic is thrown at the audience, but it is integrated into the old-school genre framework to drive the narrative. The film
tells the story of a tech worker with a crowd psychological disorder who finds recorded evidence of violent crime during a review of ordinary data streams and tries to report it in his company's chain of command. Faced with strong resistance and bureaucracy, she realized that in order to get involved, she would have to do what she feared the most - leave her apartment.
