Gemini 2018

     An incident tests the complex relationship between a personal assistant and her Hollywood starlet boss.  Jill LeBeau is the assistant and Heather Anderson is the celebrity.   Jill travels across Los Angeles to unravel a mystery about Heather.  She tries to stay one step ahead of Detective Edward Ahn, a determined policeman. She also needs to confront her own understanding of what friendship, truth and celebrity really are and what they mean. 

     I was very hesitant about watching this film!!  Every write-up talks about a heinous crime being committed and I was wondering if this would be an unbearable crime to watch!!  Jill doesn't believe there are any threats against her but in Hollywood you can't be sure?  Heather’s jilted ex threatens to kill her.  A little later, four other people seem to be people who might have a grudge against Heather.  I thought this film was very slow and unwatchable at times?  2* (I didn’t like this movie)

Note:  Imdb 5.4 out of 10, 70% critic 43% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert 3*, The Guardian 3* out of 5* Benjamin Lee, Metacritic 71 out of 100 with 30 critics 6.2 out of 10 with 20 reviews, Washington Post 1.5* out of 5* Michael O’Sullivan, Amazon 3.2* out of 5* with 10 reviews.

Special Note:  Filmed in Los Angeles, California.  The tite comes from the meaning of the word Gemini since it means twins.  A fan in the beginning of the film interrupts Jill and Heather at a diner.  She looks just like one of the women and she has the same neck tattoo.
