Directed, shot, and edited by Soderbergh, “Kimi” is ultimately about how difficult it is to extricate vital information from a computer corporation who would sooner hush up any granule of scandal than confront anything approaching actual malfeasance. It’s also very much up-to-date about relationships, dating, and love in time of COVID. Kravitz is terrific in the read role, bringing both detached cynicism and intense anxiety to a role that requires to her to be simultaneously vulnerable and resolute.
The actual case
At the time of the NBC report, the Sheriff’s office had secured a warrant for the Echo recordings, and said recordings were sent to the Hallandale Beach Police Department for analysis. Crespo’s attorney was also keen on hearing the recordings, maintaining that his client was innocent.
We can take comfort in the fact that “Kimi” is mostly fiction. Apparently.
