Like The Killing of a Sacred Deer the second and third stories include an element of magical realism mixed with tragedy. I loved all three segments in different ways. Yorgos Lanthimos keeps bring novel approaches to the art of cinema, and I’m thrilled to part of it.
I remember when Jesse Plemons was just "That guy from season 2 of the Fargo TV show." It's been fun watching his star rise. He just needs the right role and there's for sure an Oscar in his future.

Dogtooth was the first Lanthimos film I ever watched and yeah, that seems about right. I only just started getting into his films last month and wanted the first one I watched to be in his native Greek. It was a hell of an introduction but I fell head-over-heels in love with his style almost instantly.
I liked story 1 a lot, but I'm surprised you found it surprising. I think its super clear from the setup everything that's gonna happen in it, which is not a criticism since it's executed very well, but to me its a story that really only has one place to go.

Have you seen any other Yorgos films besides The Favorite and Poor Things? I ask because KOK is Yorgos back into his original form. Weird, offbeat and darkly comedic. Dogtooth is my favorite film of his and this one had that same tone. The stories I found really interesting, wicked and engaging throughout.

If anything, The Favorite and PT were a turn towards the mainstream for him and I'm guessing he's using their success to secure budget to move onto things he's more interested in. I'm guessing Bugonia will be in the same vein as KoK as well.

Not that suprising really - if you loved The Favourite and Poor Things then you are in the McNamara/Lanthimos group. If you were a fan of Dogtooth, The Lobster or The killing of a sacred Deer then you are in the Filippou/Lanthimos group. Not saying you can't be both. I personally loved The Favourite and Poor Things and struggled with the others so I have a good idea of what's in store.

Becase the favourite and poor think was historical film And about british in past
The biggest mark against Kinds of Kindness is that it's being marketed as a comedy. It has a few funny moments but in my opinion, that thing is a straight-up horror movie. When I was writing out my initial thoughts after seeing it, I ended up including a lengthy (but mostly spoiler-free) content warning at the beginning because I felt the marketing had done such a poor job of accurately representing what kind of movie it was. It was hands-down the most emotionally exhausting film I've ever sat through and while I mean that as a compliment, I wouldn't have wanted to see it if I were at all struggling in the moment. In fact, I wasn't able to watch The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer before seeing KoK like I initially planned and I ended up feeling so drained by it that it's probably going to be a while before I can handle any more Lanthimos. In that respect, I actually think the marketing for KoK may almost be bordering on irresponsible. I've only recently started getting into Lanthimos's movies but I have loved everything I've seen from him so far, Poor Things being my favorite with KoK resting somewhere between that and The Favourite. I even drove 20 miles just to make sure I saw KoK on opening day because there weren't any closer theaters with showings. However, I fully understand why some people don't like it and it will not surprise me at all if it gets 0 awards attention. It is a fascinating work of art but it is by no means for everyone. I probably wouldn't even recommend it to someone I didn't know well because it's just so intense and everyone's reaction to it is going to be different.
Kind of Kindness are like police bodycams that recording weird, mental health people's life.

I love this comparison
The most bizarre movie I've ever seen. Tarantino on steroids!
I saw Kinds of Kindness in theaters last night. I loved it so much; it inspired me to come up with an idea for my own short film. It’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely for me!
I thought it kept getting better personally. The last story was my favorite. It reminded me a lot of the film "safe"
I think the througline is the abuse themes and the order working with the first having the most intrigue and the last being the most literal with the themes and upbeat in tone despite its heavy moments. Also the dissonant choir as she passes out in the sauna? The slow motion tear drops in the jacuzzi? How is the third part not a vibe. People either like it the most or the least out of the three I've seen. I'm in the former camp.
Whenever I see people so put off by animal cruelty I wonder if they eat animals. And if they do, they are just put off by dog/cat cruelty ans are ignoring the rest.
My favorites in order, 3, 1, 2. I'm not exactly sure why, except that the third was so strange that I found it the most compelling. I enjoyed Emma Stone racing around in her car as she (and we) tried to figure out what was going on! But all three were good, interesting, and I need to see the movie more than just once to attempt to see the threads that connect them. Then there is the dog story, with accompanying video, that Emma Stone's character tells her "father" in episode 2 - what was that about, and why was it there? I'm sure to be in the minority, but I enjoyed this movie more than Poor Things, as audacious and wonderfully acted as PT was.

@@belloutdoors5217 According to Brian's criteria, Magnolia is not an anthology movie because all the characters in the various storylines have connections to each other. it's not several separate stories, it's one single big story with characters who move in and out of each other's orbit. Plus, all the storylines are intercut with each other, whereas an anthology has separate stories with their own characters that begin once the previous story ends and end before the next story begins.

Pulp Fiction is a film that’s non-chronological, more specifically Hyperlink Cinema, so it’s not an anthology film. Anthology films are different stories with different characters in each of the stories, regardless if the cast is the same in all of them or not. Pulp Fiction has three stories, but the main characters are the same and you could put it in chronological order and it would be one big film from beginning to end that you could follow, while a film like Kinds of Kindness is three stories with different characters in the stories.

@@vins1979 Connections, yes. But the Cloud Atlas characters don't appear in each other's storylines with one exception: Sixsmith (James D'Arcy) who appears in both the 1936 the the 1973 scenes. Pulp Fiction, on the other hand, has characters show up briefly in some storylines and be central characters in others. A true anthology may share actors, but not characters, according to Brian (if I've understood his criteria).
I really enjoyed listening to this. Were/are you a professional film critic?
In trying to think of other anthology films, I thought of the French Three Colours films in the early 90s (Blue, White, and Red), but I had forgotten that those were all released separately (albeit within about a year of one another). Why not just release the three stories as three separate films if there's no real narrative thread connecting the three? (The only Lanthimos film I have seen, I have to admit, was The Favourite, which I did like a LOT. I just don't get out to see movies as much these days . . . . (Poor Things is on my to-see list based primarily on Brian's positive reviews).)
I had no idea it was nearly 3 hours long when i watched it today , I did think it was very slow paced but that adds to the atmosphere,despite finding it a bit of a slog by the 2nd and 3rd acts there was enough intrigue that it left me wanting more
Yeah I agree with you on anthology films. All three stories have to be equal in their greatness. Reminds of New York Stories from 1989. The three stories in that film had different casts and directors (Scorsese, Allen, and Coppola) for all three. Scorsese’s film is the best one. I wonder how it works with the same cast and director for all three here in Kinds of Kindness.

I couldn't look away, the acting is marvelous. I have no idea what was meant.
I don't know why, but I don't like Jesse Plemons. I have no idea as to why I don't like him, but it's just a fact. Emma Stone is amazing and she deserves to be loved. But Brian making a video about NOT liking a Yorgos Lanthimos movie with Emma in it is weird. Definitely worth the watch, tho😄
i was engaged and entertained by the movie and i would not recommend this just to anyone. 2 people walked out of my screening. It's not my fave but I also didn't dislike it. It's just weird AF, so trademark Lanthimos. Jesse Plemmons is amazing. As a female, I also feel #3 the most - I can see why she'd be the perfect pick for a cult.
This movie is fantastic. Definitely not for everyone, a polarizing movie just like Beau is afraid was
walked out of the theater thinking “damn willem dafoe lays major pipe”
It sounds like it’s similar to Cloud Atlas
I loved this film! I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 stories!
It's interesting that The Favourite and Poor Things solidified Yorgos as an "i'll be there opening weekend..." director for you. For me The Favourite and Poor Things seemed somewhat conventional compared to his prior work. I was a bit bored of his style. Just another interesting director that had his rough edges sanded off by Hollywood. But Kinds of Kindness, although far from perfect, puts Yorgos back on track for me. It's imperfect in a perfect way. However you review is totally reasonable.
I guess you Love Top Gun and Star Trek
You know nothing about the original Lanthimos, you're too attached to Hollywood traditional narrative Lanthimos.
enjoyed your review but i think this film, or at least the actors will definitely win some awards. l'll come back go this comment in the future
I agree that the first story was the best of the three, but as soon as I noticed Defoe made Plemons dress like Ron Burgundy I couldn't focus on anything else.
We miss your reviow ❤ about films of new seasion. Amazing critics for kind of kindness. I dont watch it yet... But i enjoy your reviow becase yoy talk about all sides of film. My opnion Many story in same film Not good idea This kind of many story in same time Suit to tv. Every episode of searios in tv make new story. Becase many story need time. I mean Must all this story be in Televion films.. in one searies. To be combleted and not short and they take time to show the all story one by one. And audiance if they dont want contunue watch the rest of story Do by choice. And i think Audiance in cenima Need to watch one full story. Not many short films in long film. That take long time or the story be so brief. And the style of this film If they make bad story with good story The bad story distroy the rest of film.

I would of rather had either 3 full movies with these storylines so we can add character depth and bring them to a good conclusion or 3 season of a tv show each season is one of these storylines. But like this it feels rushed, no attachment to characters, no explanation for what is going on (especially story 2). To me this is a movie that wastes 2 stories with interesting premises. 3rd story can go fuck itself I ain’t even finish it it was so uninteresting.

I frankly don't understand some of these criticisms. Personally, I loved story 3, I think is the BEST of the three. In a sense it is the more 'realistic' in how it depicts people manipulated by a cult leader. To say that Jesse Plemmons has little or nothing to do in story 3 is really beside the point. Nobody says that he has to be the main character in all the three stories. Jesse Plemmons is the main character of the first two stories and, in the first story, Emma Stone's character is underdeveloped and has little to do. So what?? Also, I do wonder how much do you know about Yorgos Lanthimos's work apart from the Favourite and Poor Things. Have you watched the Lobster or the Killing of a sacred deer? Even better, have you ever watched his movies in Greek, or do you know only English-language movies? Also, 73% on Rotten Tomatoes is not "mixed to favourable reviews"... Finally, the 'true line' of the stories, its main theme, is love as power -- which is basically the same theme of the Favourite.
It’s weird just to be weird and I’m not here for it anymore.

The only frustrating aspect is the slow, hypnotic pace of your analysis, filled with clichés. If you liked more the third story, you would have said that the first story was not strong; in that case you would have said it's frustrating because the first part sets the tone. You can't compartmentalize the movie to suit your analysis; even though it's an anthology, it should be interpreted as a cohesive whole. What is also frustrating, is that you failed to see the impeccable cinematography, editing, score and so many more and most importantly that this is a return to Yorgos true cinematic style not the one you prefer. You were wrong with the Oscars predictions last year (Poor things included), you might be wrong this year as well.

Having just watched this yesterday, I share the uploaders opinion about it. Weirdly frustrating. The first story was by far the best. I thought it would be just as good as Poor Things. Not so. I did not walk out like some moviegoers did halfway through.
It’s NOT David Lynchian. The only reason that anyone would say that is bc it’s an “out there” type of film. At least his stories are interesting and multilayered. This movie was simply horrible. I hated it. 3 hours I won’t get back. I do agree. The first story was the best of the three. But that’s not saying much. That said… I saw previews to poor things and tried watching the first ten min. And I stopped watching. Thank god I didn’t pay for it at the movie theatre . I guess you have to have a taste for this directors films. I do not. Great on him he can find awesome actors to play his stories out. But. Just not for me.
Cradles of Cruelty. Call it what it is. YORGOS for The Favorite and Poor Things, yes, but this misanthropic trash? If KoK is a true representation of Yorgos, may he retire from film making immediately. Every excellent actor in KoK lost my respect by participating with the dark narcissistic hatefulness in this screenplay including sexual cannibalism. We can vote with our ticket and PVOD purchases, and I vote never to be filmically assaulted by topics like this horrid abomination of a movie.
So tired of the asian woman white man trope. Nice review, btw.
I really loved poor things and was intrigued by kinda of kindness while watching it! Definitely didn’t like it NEARLY as much as poor things and then the rape scene happened and it kinda just put me off of the whole thing. Felt really contrived and grotesque but not in the way that you typically thing of Yorgos movies being idk whole movie ended up annoying me a tad
I don’t know about this director. He seems to be trying to break Robert Altman’s record of getting the most famous actresses to do nude scenes.
It really was a bunch of bullshit. Just like poor things. I mean even “Daddio” was better and that’s saying a lot.
I couldn’t stand it. All the really interesting parts of each story were just glazed over and never fleshed out.
I'm done with Lanthimos pretentious movies, I only partially liked The Lobster because it was the first one with that trick of having a weird concept and then building upon it, you like it the first time but after that it becomes redundant. Poor things was the one where I said enough is enough. Pretentious movies made to appeal to the Academy.

You're not alone ... this KoK film was cruel trash that traded dishonestly on the Yorgos mystique of past differently styled films at Oscars. KoK does not represent humanity overall or spirituality as I know it. Instead, it's interpersonally hideous and unredeemingly ugly, based on misbegotten criminal levels of insanity. ("Humor" only at others' expense.) Walking out or not going at all is the best response to unrelenting hatred on film. There are much better movies out there. So remember, you're not alone!
