Angela (played by Zoë Kravitz) works at home correcting errors on the virtual assistant Kimi (something like Amazon’s Alexa) based on users’ audios. Until one day she hears a crime happening in the background of one of the audios.

The premise is unrealistic. The big tech guy fears being exposed for raping a woman, so he hires people to kill her. When, in reality, you can sexually assault women and be elected president. No need to kill.

Despite that, I like the film. It’s straightforward, no BS. Entertaining, it brings up relevant topics, like privacy and big tech, and with good acting from Zoë Kravitz.

I love the camera work when she gets out of the apartment for the first time. It reflects the deep discomfort she’s feeling in public.

I think Soderbergh is a little inconsistent, but I like this one and recommend it.
