gemini malayalam movie review

Now streaming on:

The opening credits for “Gemini” run over images of upside-down palm trees, cast in blue twilight. As the title fades out, the camera slowly tilts downward, bringing us back to earth. We’re in Los Angeles and bluesy music by Keegan DeWitt sets a romantic tone reminiscent of John Williams ’ theme for “ The Long Goodbye .” In much of the same tradition of Robert Altman ’s neo-noir classic, director Aaron Katz revives Los Angeles as a renewed film noir locale, this time in the era of smartphones and millennials. Focused on celebrity and bodily autonomy, the film is centered on a Hollywood Starlet, Heather (Zoё Kravitz), and her personal assistant, Jill ( Lola Kirke ), who find their lives altered due to a horrific crime.

In the film’s opening scene, Jill receives a phone call from Heather’s jilted ex. He threatens to kill Heather, a promise that Jill relays to her boss with a casual coolness. Heather seems unfazed and is far more preoccupied with her decision to bail out of an upcoming film. By the time Heather and Jill return home that night, they will have encountered at least four people who might wish Heather harm. The actress, paranoid and afraid for her life, asks to borrow Jill’s gun: A choice that Jill will later regret.

“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. Fear pierces through the somnambulist environment, as the characters grow increasingly paranoid over being constantly under surveillance. Unlike previous decades of noir, this takes on new significance in the era of TMZ and Instagram. The film redefines the idea of the California experience as living through a filter, as typical American stomping grounds are redesigned for a hyper-connected world.

Early on in the film, Jill and Heather are at a diner. It is decorated with neon signs, celebrity photos, and retro waitress outfits. It is self-aware kitsch, orchestrated to be hip and social media ready. When taking an order, the waitress asks if they would like some “apps, you know appetizers,” a kind of too-hip function of a place designed for influencers. As Heather steps outside for a moment, a young fan slides into the booth across from Jill. She has an uncanny resemblance to her favorite star, they even have the same distinct haircut with shaved sides and long, tight braids. Jill tries to get her to leave, but the wide-eyed ingenue wants to be a part of her favorite star’s orbit. When Heather returns, she gently agrees to a photo but things turn quickly sour, when the fan, with a bright beautiful smile, asks a question that oversteps all normal interpersonal boundaries.

More than ever, the idea that a celebrity can have a private life seems eroded. Social media, in particular, has shaken away the idea that there exists a public and private persona. Even after being offended by the fan at the diner, Heather goes and tries to find the photo on Instagram to make sure she looks good. The film’s first act is preoccupied with Heather being overwhelmed by her desire to control her public image. Her decision to temporarily back away from acting seems to be rooted in an anxiety that her image has been worn down, rendered unfamiliar and unrecognizable.

The film as a whole is more engaged with Jill, Heather’s personal assistant. In “Gemini” Kirke plays a character who serves as a background player and is suddenly thrust into the action and spotlight. Uncomfortable with this new attention, she begins changing her habits and even her appearance. Self-erasure, as it connects to femininity, is one of the most integral themes in the representation of the millennial experience, also at the forefront of films like “ Spring Breakers ,” “ Mistress America ” (also starring Kirke) and “ Ingrid Goes West .” They are films where individuality is fractured and erased, replaced with a kind of artificial play acting of melded spirits and shared identities. A safety exists in these new identities, as they are exempt from real emotions or consequences.

However, this representation of living in the new age is tinted with an uncomfortable cynicism. Most of these portraits of the female millennial experience in the 2000s suggest the experience of being a woman as malleable and uncertain. The films do take pains to represent the world in which a woman might want to stop existing but does so with a hint of desire. Unsurprisingly, even within the wider scope of persona swap films (a term coined by Miriam Bale), most of these representations are taken on by men, who inject their points of view with a creeping desire. Women are represented as mysteries, unknowable creatures with the ability to absorb their surroundings and adapt to new faces. There is an uncomfortable eroticism to these representations, that suggests that the malleability of femininity can be geared towards a perfect, if vacant, iteration of male desire.

“Gemini” might question the nature of celebrity in 2018 but does not really subvert it. At its best, the film has a dreamy atmosphere with compelling performances. Along with its twisted sense of humor, 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. It relies on insinuations and mystery to carry the audience, without questioning the nature of a society reimagining itself as a large set of social media images and stolen identities.

‘Gemini’ Review: A Solid Throwback Thriller

  • Share on Facebook
  • Share on Twitter

Early on in Gemini , the new film from director Aaron Katz, John Cho ’s Detective Ahn tells Lola Kirke ’s Jill that it’s often some seemingly innocuous and overlooked detail that winds up being “the key to solving the whole thing.” That one line says as much about Gemini as its cool, reflective aesthetic, which tips its hat to late ’80s and early ’90s thrillers, including films like Mulholland Dr. , Lost Highway , and the lesser-seen and under-appreciated  Bad Influence .

That’s not to say that Gemini shares a similar plot with those films, or even really the same attitude. It’s more realistic (though not entirely), and more humorous than horrific, despite moments of understated tension throughout. And while fans of the genre and those aforementioned films may clock the answer to its central mystery early on, Gemini is still a joy to watch.

Gemini centers on the relationship between personal assistant Jill (Kirke) and her boss / friend, a famous actress named Heather ( Zoe Kravitz ), who is antsy to take some time away from the spotlight. The film is as much about Los Angeles as Mulholland Dr . or The Neon Demon , though not nearly as elusive as the former or as stylized as the latter. Katz’s film definitely exists in the same universe, with a self-aware streak that never becomes grating. It’s a fine tonal line and one that Katz and his cast navigate with expert balance.

That cast is the key to the film’s success. Over the course of 90 minutes, Kirke’s mini-odyssey through Los Angeles finds her crossing paths with a hilariously cynical screenwriter ( Veep ’s Nelson Franklin), a coolly assertive detective (Cho), Heather’s narcissistic former flame ( Penny Dreadful ’s Reeve Carney), an insensitive publicist (Michelle Forbes) and Heather’s rumored new girlfriend (Greta Lee) — all of whom represent the self-serving and opportunistic microcosm of L.A., a world in which an actress like Heather might take hyperbolic death threats from any one of them literally.

Like his most successful contemporaries, Katz doesn’t seek to overtly emulate his influences, but they’re felt in innocuous details — like Kirke’s Bettie Page-inspired hair, which changes from brunette to blonde and calls to mind Patricia Arquette in Lost Highway . These are fun nods, but they don’t overpower the film, which is effectively an experience all its own.

Kirke carries much of Gemini  on her shoulders as Jill, a determined assistant who devotes much of her life to an employer who has, by all accounts, become a close friend until a moment of startling violence threatens to undermine it all. And yet, Jill’s tenacity persists long after many of her professional peers would have called it a day. (It’s also kind of rad to see Kirke decked out in full leather motorcycle gear in a moment that is a subtle feminine badass fantasy.)

Kravitz deserves just as much credit for her magnetic performance, which is  just  elusive enough to keep you guessing even when you suspect you may know how this story ends. Ultimately, it’s a testament to Katz and company’s efforts that Gemini still feels remarkably fresh even  if  you suspect the third-act reveal. Films shouldn’t hinge on twists and surprise endings. Even if you have these moments spoiled for you, it shouldn’t spoil your overall experience.

In this current era of spoiler-driven pop culture, films like Gemini , which place a higher premium on storytelling, performances, and character-building than on the “big twist” at the end, feel like an act of beautiful rebellion. Simple in both concept and execution, Gemini rewards viewers who aren’t anxious to outsmart it, and are more interested in seeing a movie that’s, you know, good .
