A cold-hearted triptych fable brimming with caustic wit, demonstrating Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, The Favourite, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) at his most misanthropic and bitingly funny.
Kinds of Kindness follows a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
‘His fans will be intoxicated by this triple shot of pure, unfiltered Lanthimos.’ Nicholas Barber, BBC.com
‘…it is an intelligent and darkly funny film that brings together a bevy of cast and crew members all at the top of their game...’ Jo-Ann Titmarsh, London Evening Standard
‘Alternately electric and maddening, it’s likely to polarize audiences more than any multiplex offering this year.’ Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
‘Oscar winner Emma Stone teams up again with her Poor Things director Yorgos Lanthimos for a mesmerizing mind teaser, co-starring a fabulous Jesse Plemons, that tells three stories that you can’t stop thinking about as they entertain and exasperate.’ Peter Travers, ABC News
