Kinds of Kindness is a film divided into three stories, each one as cruel and disturbed as the next. This film, presented as a triptych, pushes the viewer’s limits even further. The three stories, all played by the same actors, are linked by common themes: self-sacrifice and control. The film brings together Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe in particular.

They liked
Rikhawom513 (5 / 5) : “3 short/medium length films with the same great actors! Emma Stone at the top and surprising scenes. Funny and offbeat!“
Myst Movies (4 / 5) : “A completely crazy movie that requires patience. Each actor plays a different role in three stories, with a touch of very dark humor and their psychopathic human side who thinks they are doing the right thing. It’s a big cast with exceptional performances! “
capirex (3,5 / 5) : “Interesting and original film by Yorgos Lanthimos. Although a tone below his previous “Poor Creatures” which is for me his most accomplished film so far, this tortured, fascinating and captivating triptych composed of three separate and autonomous segments, in which the same actors embody different characters which is absolutely not disturbing! That said, the direction has nothing “kind” or amiable but is often very funny!“

Ella3108 (1 / 5) : “Very disappointing, too long, repetitive, the film gets bogged down in a bloated exercise in style. To be avoided.“
eve land (1 / 5) : “Unstructured, certainly full of things to analyze but too uninteresting in form to be saved by the content. A film to watch in extracts for the analysis but overall we are terribly bored.“
Kinds of Kindness is currently in theaters.
