I just saw this last night. There are no "vulnerable performances" in it, there are barely performances at all. Everyone is so detached, so disengaged and awkward it's like watching a lobotomized am-dram production.

The writing is stilted on purpose, have you not seen any of Lanthimos’ earlier films with writer Efthimis Filippou? If you watch closely, the leads in Kinds of Kindness each bring their own personal approach while still working within the purposefully detached dialogue style.
