Hate when people think they’re so artsy, watching this film wasn’t a pleasant experience. It was sniffing it’s own farts and shoving it in our face. Btw I’m a huge fan of poor things, because beyond the weirdness is a great theme and plot. Kinds of kindness feels like a mixture of cocaine and watching paint dry.

did all that have some symbolic significance? it appeared to me the whole scene was just for comedy and i don't know how i feel about actors getting fully nude and doing basically corn just for a gag. 99% of nude scenes i see in movies seem to just be cuz the directors want to see some tiddies and knowing how awful that industry is when it comes to that stuff, i personally just feel uncomfortable every time i see such scenes. i don't think this goes for lanthimos, he seems to be a good dude, very appreciative and nice to the actors and ema and other actors that work with him seem to love him and have no problem doing scenes like these.

With that being said, I don’t really know anyone that I know personally besides myself that would like this movie. Kinds of Kindness is very unapologetically itself and, like Chris said, you can tell Yorgos doesn’t really give a damn if you get it or not.

This was a bold, complex, original triptych of stories that you had no idea where they were going but if you were going in as an established Yorgos fan, you knew you were along for the ride no matter where it took you and man did it just keep taking you! How some of these ideas are came up with is beyond me. It felt very play like, with the three different title cards flashing before each story, like an Act 1, 2 and 3 and all along you’re unintentionally trying to piece together how they all are going to connect and see that there’s one common denominator throughout and then bam, it all does at the end. And the mid credits moment was the perfect “ah ha” payoff where we finally got to see the title of that third story. Loved this film and look forward to a rewatch.

We spent the next few days talking about it and thinking about it and looking up reviews and talking about it more, then decided we had to go back and watch it again. I can’t say we “loved” it, but something about that second watch just clicked for us. Probably gonna be in our top 5 of the year. REALLY interesting film.

[@maria2337]

Agree, this movie will be forgotten about quickly. It’s not relatable or very intelligible

[@blaisetelfer8499]

This is a movie I can't really rate in numbers or stars, partially because I'm still processing it, but I love it. Lanthimos drops you into a bizarre alternate reality with no exposition, and the only way to make sense of the experience is to open your imagination and probe what must be going on in the writer's head. It doesn't feel messy or nonsensical to me, though, as there's clear themes and similarities with each story, and they all go together well. The stories make perfect sense in the world they exist in, that world is simply foreign to the viewer. Recalling this movie is genuinely like recalling a series of dreams.

[@sianspherica]

I saw this tonight in a theatre. For the first time in about 20 years I walked out of the theatre about 30 minutes from the end of the film. I just found it completely and utterly tiresome. I say that as someone that was a huge huge fan of The Lobster and The Favourite. It's just that it's weird in a Yorgos film, it's just weird for the sake of weird, it's too much, it's basically cringe. After enduring the first two mini films I got about 15 minutes into the third one and just decided I was.... Done. I didn't care anymore. I wanted to be doing anything else besides continuing to watch Kinds of Kindness. It was brutal. I love Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons and most of what Yorgos has done but man I just couldn't after a while.

[@sanna9062]

That's a shame because the last story was pretty interesting

[@amirgarcia547]

This movie was just pure, unadulterated Yorgo Lanthimos through and through in both the best and worst way possible. Which means people who enjoy his filmography will have a blast with it, and those who don’t will most likely end up disliking it. While I didn’t particularly enjoy the second story, it doesn’t really matter much when I still loved the first and kind of enjoyed the second. But the directing and cinematography is great, and all the actors are phenomenal in their multiple roles, especially Jesse Plemmons as the difference between his character in the first and second story was complete whiplash. I didn’t expect to get a new Yorgos film so close after Poor Things, but I’m certainly glad I did. Or at least three short films, technically.

It made me think a lot about what I was watching and I appreciate being challenged in a film. My partner enjoyed it too, not as much as me I think, but I can understand why people may not. After the film, I talked a bit with the other person that watched it and she seemed to find it really interesting too. I hope this film does well enough for Yorgos to embark on more projects like this or even a mini series in this vein.

[@socialist_doorbell_pig]

I thought it wasn’t as comparable to eyes wide shut, I personally dislike a lot of Kubrick’s work though. Jerskin was the composer for this film and poor things, and his second film ever was kinds of kindness. I loved the movie, the message was more clear of wanting love and praise and wanting to be accepted. It’s so interesting, I told my friend that it seemed the dialogue mimicked a foreign language’s tone and enthusiasm. The words were blunt and straight to the point, there was no imagery in most of the dialogue which for some reason didn’t help with the comprehension. 10/10, a hard watch in the third act with some of the content, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film as a whole.

I was reminded of a line from a show I like where one of the characters reads the review of the film she saw the night before “So I can find out what it was about.” I really liked it and definitely need to go back to it.

[@wgibso20]

Growing up in rural south it was a strange kick to see these actors/ characters sort of animating through this liminal, nothing spaces. The setting was a character too and somehow drew me into this film. As someone who doesn’t love overtly artsy films I still greatly enjoyed the surrealist tone of this film.

Chris Stuckmann: Where can I get that PIKACHU shirt?

[@violenciariba666]

Watched it a couple weeks ago. It's very much like Dogtooth and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (my personal favourite of his). The themes of abusive relationships are very well handled and some great acting (like chris said, Jesse Plemons is fabulous in the movie) and i did knew about it's structure, but it was really worth it. I loved the first story, that one did have the strongest tie to the themes it presents. The second one is the craziest and while i did like it, it was a little too much for me. The third one was the weakest and it did go on for way too long, but it was still very engaging. A solid 8/10 for me.

[@darthvirgin7157]

this kind of reminds me of a quote by branford marsalis on ken burns’ documentary on jazz…”self indulgent bullshit”. “does art exist for the public, or for the artist”?

[@MJGianesello]

what's the public exactly? Some sort of faceless mass of undetermined viewers whose specifics don't matter? Is a movie good because any number of people can like it? Is a movie that doesn't appeal to five year olds worse than one that does by default? No actually good movie was ever made by trying to appeal to everybody, that's how nothing burgers get made. A movie genuinely loved by one person is more succesful as art than a movie put on in the bsckground to stave off boredom by a million people

The second part to me yes, is aboot the lengths one will go to be there for a selfish lover, but also aboot how cinephile culture views Yorgos. I hear it everywhere, people saying he's pretending to be this and pretending to be that and chucking him off the second he hits the mainstream. When in reality he's only trying to be what the stories he tells demand of him, but people can't seem to look at it through a clean lens. Constantly comparing to the legends of the past much like how Daniel can't for the life of him get over the new Liz.

The second it was revealed what Stone was eating on the island like 4 elderly ladies in front of me got up and walked right out 😂

Chris Stuckman new video popup on the feed keeps reminding me that such thing as movies still even exist. Can't remember the last time I went to a movie theater...

If you don't look, you don't find.

Poor Things felt like a Disney movie, but with more sex. THIS is the Yorgos Lanthimos I love!

[@ethansmith4442]

Holy shit this movie was wild. I didn't watch any trailers or anything i just knew it was the director of poor things back with Emma Stone so i tried it out. I'm really not into horror, suspense, or awkward tense movies so it was honestly jarring for me. I had to walk out near the end of the second act. I'll finish it at home sometime. Beautifully done film truly a work of art. But I didn't know what i was getting myself into, wish i watched this first and then watched it at home instead of the theater. Great movie just too fucking intense for me in the theater.

LOVE YORGOS. It’s always a shitshow, but an artistic one. Still waiting for you to review the “favourite”

[@burhanuddinlokhandwala4459]

Going for the movie today.

Leave it to Chris to put a two minute ad into a 8 minute review

I luckily didn't watch this one with my Mom.

While watching this movie, I have come to a realization. I used to think that Yorgos’ work (especially the stilted dialog delivery) being so bizarre, was a result of a man who grew up not speaking English. But now I think this goes far beyond that, I think Yorgos is an alien. All of his films that I’ve seen (everything but Dogtooth) seem to be approximations of the human condition from a far off and misunderstood point of view. I enjoyed the film, but I will not fight anyone who thinks it’s complete bullshit.

[@andreyzhuchkov1882]

how do you mean 'misunderstood point of view'? we as audience dont understand his point of view of humanity or rather he comes from a place of misunderstanding humanity?

Making the movie to be inspired by 1996 film Freeway, 1991 film Boyz n the Hood and 2024 film Kinds of Kindness.

I was okay with this movie. The runtime is definitely too long so people may complain about that. It would have been great if each actor's roles were a reincarnation of the previous ones and karma kicks in towards the third movie.

[@ΣτέφανοςΚυριαζίδης-ξ6φ]

I'd say The Favorite is the most "mainstream" of Lanthimos' filmography and my favorite one for that matter

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Chris for another review.

6:37 water represents the deep emotions, I believe.

[@baller1805]

Yorgos is brilliant. You have to love his work. They are masterpieces.
