In theaters this Wednesday, June 26, did Kinds of Kindness convince early audiences? Although it averages 2.7 out of 5 from the press (29 reviews) and 2.7 out of 5 from the public, thanks to the 95 people* who have rated it so far (including 17 reviews), a small selection of viewer reviews. .
Kinds of Kindness is a film divided into three stories, each as brutal and disturbing as the next. Presented in the form of a triptych, this film goes beyond the limits of the audience.
The three stories, starring the same actors, are linked by common themes: self-sacrifice and control. In particular, Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe gather in the film.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ new feature film won Jesse Plemons a prestigious acting prize at Cannes from a jury chaired by Greta Gerwig, featuring Omar Sy and Eva Green in particular.

Rixawom513 (5/5): “3 short/medium films around the same great cast! Emma Stone top and amazing scenes. Funny and strange!“
Myst Movies (4/5): “A completely insane film that requires patience. Each actor plays a different role each time in the three stories, with very dark humor and their psychopathic human side that thinks they are doing the right thing. This is a great cast with exceptional performances! “
Capirex (3.5/5):An interesting and original film by Yorgos Lanthimos. Although lower in tone than his previous “Poor Creatures”, which for me is his most successful film to date, this tortured, charming and charming triptych consists of three separate and autonomous segments, in which the same actors play different characters, which is absolutely not annoying! That said, there’s nothing ‘kind’ or friendly about the production, but it’s often very funny!“

Ella3108 (1/5): “Too frustrating, too long, too repetitive, the film is bogged down in an exercise in bloated style. Do not avoid.“
Eva Land (1/5): “Unstructured, certainly full of things to analyze, but too uninteresting in form to retain substance. A film that needs to be seen in excerpts for analysis, but overall we are terribly bored.“
Kinds of Kindness is currently in theaters.
