Kinds of Kindness review
After the success of Poor Things earlier this year in what is arguably one of if not my favorite movie of 2024 thus far Director Yargos Lanthimos reunites with Emma Stone for a trippy, mind bending triptych of stories. Each told in it's own unique manner with all actors portraying different characters in each story. Right off the bat I got to say that Kinds of Kindess is a lot to take in and digest. It's really beefy and full of dark, twisted humour and images. At times it's kind of like what is even happening here while others it's genuinely funny. That's not to say everything is great here because it isn't as each story tries almost too hard to be upfront and direct with a strange under belly lurking beneath it all. The cast are fantastic throughout from Emma Stone to Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley to Jesse Plemons who is just brilliant here in all three of his roles. In true Yargos Lanthimos it's full of vulgar language and a lot of nudity and sex.
