Gemini

"Aaron Katz does his cover of the Los Angeles-set murder mystery, homing in on the genre's evocative loneliness."

"As visually appealing as much of Gemini is, it wouldn't work nearly so well without Lola Kirke playing Jill."

"It's a delicious appetizer but you'll crave more."

"A pleasurably drifty, low-wattage mystery..."

"A moody noir pop-up..."

"Katz, serving as writer, director, and editor of the movie, sets the scene brilliantly. What he fails to do is serve up a story that is remotely worthy of its trappings."

"What does it mean when a movie's setting is so rapturously rendered that its characters, its plot and even the merest whiff of suspense evaporates into a haze? In the case of Gemini, that's not entirely a bad thing."

"Gemini feels like an homage to L.A. noir films of the past and is more concerned with being a wink and a nudge rather than its own property."

"There is no doubt that the film is more than just a monochromatic Pinterest mood board. And yet, it doesn't really push things to the next level, either."

"There's a ghostly aura over Katz's L.A., even in broad daylight..."

"L.A. Confidential for Millennials."

"It is among the emptiest movies I've ever seen..."

"[Kirke and Cho] are endlessly fascinating to watch, but the gossamer-thin material underserves them."

"Gemini feels like the first draft of a movie that could have been developed into something more resonant."
