Kinds of Kindness is divided into three stories with the same cast. A high level of absurdity and unpredictability mixed with some mystery make for a funny quirky thriller at first. Jesse Plemons excels at making this quirkiness work to the benefit of the movie. Then the first chapter ends and turns into the second, shuffling things around, which already begins to demand some tolerance and patience from the viewer. Random things are inserted for shock value that amuse at first but then become to seem pretentious. By the third chapter, the movie has overindulged in random ideas that are appear intended to impress without clear direction. At this point it's just absurdity for the sake of absurdity, which comes across as an underestimation of the critical viewer. All in all, I enjoyed the first part, and think Plemons did great, but ultimately believe we could've picked a better movie, and intend to stay away from films by this particular director in the future.

Giving this an 6/10 rating Yorgos Lanthimos is one of those directors you are going to love or hate. 'Poor Things' was a really great film, earlier this year, garnered many awards, but this - 'Kinds of Kindness' is one that that I will not want to watch again, is just about good. The film is split into three tales, all are good, well acted, good lines, it's all almost good, but for the actual characters them selfs, I just could not like any of them, these are people who I would not want to spend any time with at all, very unsettling humans, maybe that is the point? If so, it worked, but still, even with the real great laugh out loud moments, I still felt cold on this film. It's not total crap, but in my mind, not Lanthimos' best. So 6/10 is the most I can give it, Could use trimming on time too.

I fell asleep watching this film which is extremely rare for me. I was so glad once it was over and the credits rolled. I am a fan of weird films and I loved "Poor Things", "The Lobster" and other movies Lanthimos has made. This one however was completely random and terribly boring - no consistent storyline, just random scenes playing on screen. The first third of the movie was the strongest part but even this section of the movie was slow and even though I liked the message it wasn't as thought provoking as it could have been. The script was simply lacking. Don't watch it in a cinema - watch it at home as second screen content while you do something more interesting.

I've never been saddened by good actors participating in a piece of work, until I watch this thing. Not creative, not intuitive, no intuition, absolutely no depth, no point, complete nonsense. If there was a silver lining on the nonsense, I would mention that. However, there is not. To say that we left unsatisfied, would be an understatement. If one would like to waste a few hours of their life, then watch this film. Honestly, other than the cast of actors, there is not a single good aspect of this movie. This is not art, because there is nothing creative or artistic about nonsense, with no story, no scheme, plot. Chaotic nothingness. That's it..
