A triptych fable following 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.

If “Poor things” was Yorgos saying “See, I can go mainstream but in my own twisted way”, then “Kinds of kindness” is like Yorgos saying “I can also get back to something that is closer to my older films”. And I absolutely love both kinds of Yorgos because this mad genius has always quenched my thirst whenever I wanted something twisted and #MyShit certified stuff. This anthology film had everything that made Yorgos what he’s now - Insanely original, brilliantly twisted even at times it gets frustratingly twisted, it’s still such a thrill to experience for someone like me who loves when a film goes to certain unexpected terrain. Not everything works but Yorgos never allowed me to relax. My brain never stopped working throughout the film’s duration. I was constantly pumped. All 3 different films had a satisfying ending and so well done with great casting and I don’t have to name them because they were all soooo good. Though I will mention my fav out of all - Jesse Plemons. My rankings of 3 stories -
It’s not every day that you get to see four of the best working actors today take part in an experimental film by one of the most exciting directors of today. The fact that they’re all in their prime is just icing on the cake
What the fuck was that? No, seriously, how do you come up with shit like this and convince both the studios and actors to do it? Kinds of Kindness is an anthology of three messed-up stories. The movie seems to be an exploration of certain traits of humanity or human behavior. The first story appears to be about control and power, while the latter two are a bit harder to pin down. The second seems to focus on trust, perception, and oddly enough food. The third one? Maybe purity? Honestly, I don’t know. Also, what the hell is RMF? This movie hurts my brain to think about. It’s clear the filmmakers had a lot to say, and not only that, but it encourages you to dig, not to solve the stories, but perhaps to understand one' self more. I’m getting tired just thinking about it, but this movie begs to be understood. So, let’s start with the first story: The Death of RMF.
W.T.F. just happened?
