Kinds of Kindness is a thought-provoking film that explores themes of affection, toxic love, and the complexities of human relationships. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the film presents three interconnected stories that delve into the darker sides of kindness and cruelty. My experience with the movie was a mix of fascination and discomfort. The cinematography is striking, capturing both beauty ver mais...

The movie "Kinds of Kindness" was a perplexing and convoluted film that left me scratching my head. Clocking in at over three hours, it has earned the reputation of being the ultimate headache-inducing movie due to its scattered narrative. Initially, the film showed promise with its stellar casting and intriguing storyline. I found myself drawn into the characters and their interactions, particver mais...

“I mostly loved it, but I kinda hated it” has pretty much become my mantra with the filmography of Yorgos Lanthimos, a writer/director whom most moviegoers will either loathe or adore. There are those of us who are firm fence sitters with his tales of absurdism and cruelty (although I skew towards the yay! versus the nay!), and it’s honestly a toss-up whether or not you’ll enjoy his latest bizarrover mais...

Quite the thing! I really enjoyed <em>'Kinds of Kindness'</em>. I'm also someone who loved <em>'Poor Things'</em> from these folk, so I guess me also liking this isn't any sort of surprise. It is a truly bizarre movie and I can see many disliking it, a thought supported by the fact that in a cinema with around 10 others alongside me, 3 left before the conclusion; 1 left at the end of chapter onver mais...

I have only walked out on one other film in my life. It was warranted then and warranted when I walked out on Kinds of Kindness. I enjoyed Yorgos Lanthimos's previous film, Poor Things, also starring Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe. In my opinion, that film is a shining star in his filmography. Before that, I found most of his work to be beautiful and intriguing in premise but ultimately very dull. Kiver mais...

I’m going to say up front that this is a film I’m probably going to be processing for quite some time. The latest offering from writer-director Yorgos Lanthimos – best known for films like “The Lobster” (2015), “The Favourite” (2018) and “Poor Things” (2023) – is as much a puzzle as anything else. Told in three loosely interlaced stories with mostly the same cast members playing different roles inver mais...

This latest effort from the quirky imagination of Yorgos Lanthimos employs the services of Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and Willem Dafoe in varying roles across three short stories that question just about every aspect of human behaviour and attitudes. The first (my favourite) sees Plemons as "Robert". He is an outwardly professional man who lives with is wife "Sarah" (Hong Chau) and works for "Raymover mais...
