Life gave Yorgos Plemons and he made Plemonade

Yeah I enjoyed the hell out of this one, particularly the first story. He’s on an absolute roll right now and I can’t wait to see what he does next

The theme song for this movie Sweet Dreams perfectly encapsulates this movie ‘Some of them want to abuse you’ ‘Some of them want to be abused’

I introduced myself to Lanthimos's films about 3 weeks ago, starting with Dogtooth because I wanted my first movie of his to be in his native Greek, and I pretty much immediately fell head-over-heels in love with his style. I've since watched The Favourite, Poor Things, and a couple of his short films and went to see Kinds of Kindness last night. I wanted to get to The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and maybe even Alps before seeing KoK but unfortunately, I wasn't able to. I've definitely been converted to the Church of Lanthimos but I still can only handle one of his films per day at most. Not only was this my first theatrical Lanthimos experience but it was also the first film in many years (probably since some HP midnight releases as a teenager) that I made sure to see on opening day. I had to drive 20 miles to the nearest showing but I gladly would have driven twice that. I'm still processing it and ended up writing about 1k words after getting home from the theater very late last night. I loved it, although Poor Things is still my favorite of his films that I've seen so far and I can absolutely see why some people might hate KoK. It was one of the most emotionally draining movie experiences I've had in a very long time and I probably won't even be able to consider watching it again for at least a week. Which, coincidentally, is about how long it'll be before it starts playing at a closer theater. In my opinion, the biggest problem with the movie is the fact that it's being marketed as a comedy. It is not and I included quite a lengthy (but still almost completely spoiler-free) content warning at the beginning of the review I wrote because I felt it was almost a bit irresponsible not to do so. If I were recommending KoK to someone, I would make sure I emphasized that if there is anything they might have a hard time emotionally dealing with, they should wait to see the movie until they feel they can handle it because whatever it is, KoK most likely shows it in full, unflinching detail. I think the only things I noticed it was mostly free from were any significant traces of racism, homophobia, or transphobia which I found rather refreshing. I'd even go so far as to say there's a strong messy, chaotic bisexual/polyamorous energy throughout the entire film. There are a few funny moments (I actually laughed hysterically during the last couple scenes) but I am firmly of the opinion that KoK is, more than anything else, a horror movie. Everything, from the stilted dialogue and wooden performances to Lanthimos's signature visual style and the number of questions each vignette leaves unanswered, is precisely crafted to unsettle the viewer and it does so masterfully. Seriously, listen to the way Lawrence Johnson (at least, I think that's who it was) delivers his lines towards the beginning of the second vignette or really any of Willem Dafoe's dialogue. The awkward cadence and monotone delivery are too unnerving to be anything but intentional. That's just not how humans speak! Once I realized that all the things I was noting that might be considered "bad" were being done deliberately, I started appreciating the movie so much more.

I found the third antholgy being the most interesting than the film in its entirety. Would love to see that concept and story fleshed out more in a full length film. I wouldn't say that I really "enjoyed" the film, but maybe my perspective will change with further thought and future viewings.

That's kinda how I felt watching it tonight.

I don’t think I’ve been this perplexed and interested while watching something in years

Yorgos's pre-Favourite works always ended with some form of twisted punchline which I've always loved (even regarding that The Favourite and Poor Things ARE my Top 2 favs of his). I'm happy to say that not only was that a return to form here, and that ending you mention a perfect rendition of that... ...but the mid-credits scene may very well have been the HARDEST I ever laughed in a theater in a long, LONG time. Brilliant.

My favorite thing aboit the movie is that I've never seen a film that felt so New Orleans (where it was it shot in, seemingly, its entirety). That alone raised its score at least half a point for me.

I liked kinds of kindness too, because Yorgos with that cast is pretty much can't miss, but I couldn't help feeling like these were 3 promising, but half written ideas and it would have been better to pick one (I think the first story was the most promising) and develop it into one movie.

5.8/10....I didn't care for this film. Not a fan of anthologies and I agree it was a lazy cop out. I like Dogtooth and The Lobster. but his last three films haven't lived up to his earlier films.

I'm very excited to watch this movie. I've been really invested in Mr. Lanthimos' filmography lately. I've enjoyed Poor Things, The Favourite and The Lobster. It's impressive how he's not ashamed on exploring the human body in a provocative way. At least it's how i see it. He really challenges the viewer. And Kinds of Kindness kinda seems to be the ultimate challenge. I think i'm ready for it. Also the trailers are just incredible.

It's kind of disheartening to see multiple reviews talk about the themes, throughlines and message of the film, but emphasize that it's not exactly _enjoyable_, like I get it but I had a blast watching this LMAO (not saying this vid is super like this but ive seen it in other reviews) The vague, weird happenings in each of the stories kept my intrigue really well, I didn't feel the runtime at all and was never bored, I was constantly engaged cuz I couldn't help but be drawn in to the worlds. It was also funny! My theater had multiple laugh out loud moments and Yorgos' dry humor was hitting consistently for me, so many hilarious parts I can recall. Freaky, weird, abnormal stuff is often so fun to watch in my opinion The performances, the sparingly used yet overbearing music, the ending, all the pieces in this fit together so well for me as a concentrated experience. My fav movie of the year so far, Yorgos truly is a freak 😂

this film is lanthimos revolting at his newfound mainstream status and i am all here for it

As others have said, this would have been a lot more interesting if it were 1 of these stories more fleshed out. I'm all for interpretation and when a movie doesn't give you all the answers, but there were so many interesting places any one of these stories could have gone, and didn't. Lots of shock factor moments, but eh I don't find this to be that rewatchable. The movie gives off the vibe that Yorgos just knows people will eat this up even if it's half-baked and clearly self-indulgent.

I agree. I loved Poor Things! It was artistic and worth the time. I loved the philosophical exploration, as well. Kinds of Kindness was too much, though. Too graphic imo, good actors and performances, but unsettling in a bad way. It may try to tackle deep social issues in an intellectual manner, but this movie was too much.

Perfect timing-I kinda forgot I wanted to see this since I saw the trailer whenever it was that the trailer dropped, and my local theaters don’t list it on the now showing page yet (but it is indeed showing) because it doesn’t fully release until the 3rd, I guess

Just came back home from the screening. Immediately felt like it was different from his last two movies, more Lobster-like and I was right. He wrote this movie together with the same guy who wrote all his movies between Dogtooth and Killing of A Sacred Deer. Don’t think I really got the story but I got the vibes!

Dogtooth is the only movie tattoo I have, and i love introducing people to his work from it.

Sweet dreams are made of this...

it was an absolute mega banger

It’s such a wierd vibe all the way

It was a great movie in what it tried to do, giving the audience a feeling of discomfort. However, I would also describe this movie as 'shallow deep'. In the sense that it tries to convince you there is a deeper story in all three, from (spoiler) why a vicious murder cycle is happening, how a man's wife isn't his wife, how a girl can bring people to life, but then to learn there isn't a deeper story. Throughout the film I tried to understand the deeper meaning and truth of the stories, only to find out there is none. And this left me a bit unsatisfied, though I now understand that this movie was never about these deeper truths and more simply about character development.

The film is about the people from Gomorra (- the biblical home of the damned and depraved, yes). The 8 different masks that are available, are eight controlling archetypes, whose forms are the only ones available to people on that planet for incarnation (ie. every soul incarnating there, has a body like one of these). On our planet here, the Earth (the great karmic clearing-house of the galaxy), these souls are also limited to these eight types. (Hmmmm, there might be Spoilers further down!) So, it's three different stories, with the same archetypes as players, but in three different local slices or worlds: 1) The East-coast one, where sport's paraphernalia is the thing to be; 2) The southern one, where food is the gambit of power; and 3) The west-coast one, where water is the "divine" medium. These slices of life, and these players in them, exist or have existed in recent time (or something very similar). The experiences in them are very particular to these eight types and their karma together - The enslavement under a Lizard King (you might call him Black Friday); cannibalism and being possessed by other forces moving them; people operating (magic-like) to get control and power over other people, in the context of a religious, sex-centered cult. It's a piece of reality, not "an interesting poem from the directors depraved imagination". Cheers!

I spent the entirety of the last act being distracted by the fact that Jesse Plemons looked like Heston Blumenthal.

KOK is light speed better than Poor Things. Yorgos when he sticks to his Greek new wave roots is best form as an artist. Absolutely loved it

First time viewer, my gf and I were looking for some analysis/conversation starters after seeing the movie and this was great! Keep it up

Lots to like and admire here but it felt like watching three pilot episodes that were all just a little too similar. I would have also liked to see the weirdness cranked up a little more. At the moment my second least favourite Yorgos movies after Sacred Deer but definitely deserves a second watch and I expect to get more from it without the weight of expectation.

My own expectations kinda ruined this film for me, I kept looking for signs and common elements that unite the 3 stories instead of just enjoying it for what it is. I feel like Poor Things did a better job at using weirdness and discomfort to set the mood and highlight certain themes, whereas here it just doesn't lead to anything satisfying.

When they finally watch "The Video" during the second story I was caught so off guard

My take on Kinds of Kindness was that it was an analysis of religion. The first was monotheism with a father figure who you tell your daily habits to, and he instructs on better actions even if it isn’t what you want to do (see Christianity), the second was based in a pseudo paganism of creature lore that fits better within Ancient Greek myth, and the last was entirely modern spirituality via a cult like approach perhaps in response to environmental destruction? I loved it so much

I really didn’t like this movie but I liked your analysis of it and hearing someone else liked it!

i read this as a deconstruction of three core american values, free will/power, the place of the family, and purity/sacredness. absolutely hated it.

Watching it rn lol

On one end you have TV shows that can take their time with the plot and characters, and on the other of course you have movies, that (usually) try to create a cohesive narrative and package all in under a few hours. THEN you have this, which is somewhere in the middle where you don't have enough time to flesh out each story, yet the run time is still extremely long for a movie....the worst of both worlds? Hmmm

Weirdest film I've ever seen, and I've seen some weird films.

Ill come back after i watch it, bookmark

Im not the only one who thought Plemmons was secretly a cannibal in part 2 am I?

I think all the characters are the same in all three and this might be just one film but in anthology form ?

My political interpretation of it has to do with the the fact that each part has a White House from which the characters are operating out of. Businessman, Cop, and Political Strategist as the main parts in each. And the broad theme being the perverse abusive forms of American political culture.

And they just announced his next movie

Like I really dig the beginning and the subject matter about abuse and abusive relationships, but it really went downhill fast
