Emma Stone talked about the film in December while promoting the triumphant Poor Creatures, which would earn her a second Oscar for Best Actress a few months later. Because his next collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos was already ready.
If the former caused a sensation in Venice, where it received the Golden Lion, it was in Cannes that Kinds of Kindness was revealed. Consider three stories in which the main actors play different roles each time. successfully? Discover what Cannes residents have to say.
Kinds of Kindness feels like an allergic reaction to Yorgos Lanthimos’ recent success. His most hostile film since Dogtooth – an anthology about our need for love that has no interest in approval. Sufficiently rewarding on its own terms.

(“The Faces of Kindness is like Yorgos Lanthimos’ allergic reaction to his latest success. His most hostile film since. a dog – An anthology about our need for love that has no interest in love. In this respect, it is quite gratifying. “
Renan Cross – CinemaTeaser : “Just to prove he hasn’t been swallowed whole by Hollywood, Yorgos Lanthimos takes his favorite stars on a (bad) road trip to LanthimosLand in three stages. Funny, but nothing new.”
The facial goodness will delight Lanthimos fans. He and co-writer Filippou return to their quirky, dark comedy style, mostly with an excellently used ensemble (wish for more Chao). There wasn’t much to chew on and it felt like a slow paced two hours. But it’s a fun time! pic.twitter.com/6esyGKO69b

(The Faces of Kindness will delight fans of Yorgos Lanthimos. With his co-author Philip of EfthimThey return to their quirky, dark and comedic style, with a mostly excellent cast (although I would have liked to see more Hong Chau). I didn’t sink much into my teeth and felt a slow pace as the two hour mark passed. But it’s a fun time!”)
Kinds of Kindness will appeal to fans of Yorgos Lanthimos
Lanthimos returns to his first love of strange and blood money. A film built on three distinct stories that allow the four actors to explode. Emma Stone will lead them. A film that gets stronger as it goes on. #KindsOfKindness #skin2024 pic.twitter.com/rqxbBQrsFj

‘Kinds Of Kindness’ review: Giorgos Lanthimos’ latest thriller, brilliant, funny … and not so easy to like – Cannes Film Festival https://t.co/PVgFEpRF9A
— Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) May 17, 2024
(“Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest film is perplexing, brilliant, funny… and not so easy to like.”)
Yorgos Lanthimos is undoubtedly one of my favorite directors. Still, Kinds of Kindness, despite its flashes, ends at 2h45, giving the impression of an empty run. And his formal ambitions look like arrogance. pic.twitter.com/ijXwNeSjF1

Confusing, brilliant, funny… and not so easy to love
KINDS OF KINDNESS is for all the girls who have been telling you for years how much they love to kill a holy deer. It’s me, it’s girls, the movie is bloody, scary, dry, wild, but somehow… beautiful. Kindness can be scary and what fun it is!!!

(“The faces of kindness are for all the girls who tell you how much they love you Killing a Sacred Deer For years. It’s me, I’m those girls! The film is bloody, macabre, dry, wild, but quite… beautiful. Kindness can be scary and it’s fun!!!)
#kindness kindness – Three segments and one obsession: the hospital. Ordinary, with his triple madcap, Yorgos Lanthimos portrays a slightly depraved lab worker who wrestles with the guts of his estranged characters.

Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian : “The goodness of goodness is heavier and longer than expected, as if looking for an important decision that may not be there. Yet perhaps absence and loss are the key.”
Like all anthologies, some parts work better than others, but the absurdity that unfolds there is interesting
Faces of Kindness: Yorgos Lanthimos draws the dice once again. form? His best since the holy deer.
— Douglas Greenwood (@douglasgrnwd) May 17, 2024
(“Yorgos Lanthimos sharpens his sting again. For me? After killing his best sacred stag.”)
KNDS OF KINDNESS is a return to Lanthimos’ quirky, twisted roots and most importantly his dark humor. Like all anthologies, some parts work better than others, but the unfolding absurdity is interesting. A hint of Twilight Zone in these settings that are intriguing to unravel. pic.twitter.com/kyBuzX04xK

(“Faces of Kindness” marks Lanthimos’ return to its weird and twisted roots and, above all, to its dark humor. Like all anthologies, some parts work better than others, but the absurdity that unfolds there is interesting. The fourth dimension in these postulates, which are interesting to solve.”)
#KindsOfKindness – Yorgos Lanthimos 👀
A very mixed screening exit… torn between marveling at the beauty of the set and this energetic cast and feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the issues.
