HBO Max is gearing up to drop a brand new thriller starring Zoe Kravitz in a few days' time. Titled 'Kimi', the official synopsis reads, "the film follows an agoraphobic tech worker who discovers recorded evidence of a violent crime during an ordinary data stream review and tries reporting it up the chain of command at her company. Meeting with resistance and bureaucracy, she realizes that in order to get involved, she will have to do the thing she fears the most — leave her apartment."
Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the HBO Max film, in which Kravitz plays Angela Childs, appears to be packed with intense moments and layered performances. If you're new to thrillers, you could take a look at 'The Platform,' 'Oxygen,' and 'The Guilty'.
