Though it’s not a film that will enter the canon of cinematic classics, it is nearly perfect, with ample heart, humor and tragedy-tinged humanity. Read full review

Gemini is deliriously entertaining, an intriguing gem and as Katz graduates to the next level, his best film to date. Read full review

For a director who emerged from indie film’s so-called “mumblecore” movement, Gemini feels like a grown-up achievement, and the sign of a director with so much more to give in the future. Read full review

Gemini has a breezy lethargy and the characters always look on the brink of sleep. With a cobalt and ultraviolet color scheme and a jazzy score, the movie seems to be cast in the dreariness of Hollywood dreams. Read full review

What really interests Mr. Katz here are movies — the fingerprints of directors like Robert Altman, David Lynch, Michael Mann and Sean Baker are all on Gemini — and how they have shaped Los Angeles, or at least our ideas about it. Read full review

Don’t call Gemini a neo-noir—call it a neon-noir, a moody little slice of pulp fiction that ends up satisfying the eyes more than the mind. Read full review

It is such a soul-killing exercise in narcissism — and not a very smart thriller, either — that yeah, you can buy into the notion that Tinseltown is a total drag. Read full review

Gemini has two great female leads and a somewhat compelling story that makes you wonder, "Who did it?"

A little overrated, I think. A too linear movie with no dark edges. Slow and more visual than stuff on the inside. It could be a telefilm with less budget. "Intriguing gem", are you kidding?

While the film is well-made, it doesn't feel consequential for any of the characters, and the ending does't help.

Lots of atmosphere, little substance. A common crime that tends to have disappointing results because its script is naturally unstable.

The build-up was superior than the resolution, which was unsatisfying to say the least, and the performances are just average. It's nothing that results inLots of atmosphere, little substance. A common crime that tends to have disappointing results because its script is naturally unstable.

It's nothing that results in a total failure, but I didn't find it worthy of much attention either.… Expand

Not that bad, but pretty bland and uninteresting. The story progresses slowly and quite predictably to the point of being somewhat boring. The jump scares don't work, the music is poorly chosen, the story is lazily written and the ending is an even bigger letdown.
