KINDS OF KINDNESS

“Although it lacks the totally out-there oddness of the director’s earlier works and the richness of his latter films, it is an intelligent and darkly funny film that brings together a bevy of cast and crew members all at the top of their game…”

“It’s not cynicism but a chuckling curiosity that fuels this sideways parable, which aligns it with Lanthimos’ past work in the most perfect of ways. You can’t say that it’s a movie for everybody. But it takes all kinds.”

“A huge part of the fun is getting caught in the mesh of mind games the film sets for its audience… But it’s also a treat just to watch the well-picked ensemble show off their range in the constantly rotating supporting roles.”

“It may not be as thematically cohesive on a first watch as some audiences will wish for, but the longer you mull it over the more the pieces of the puzzle begin to fit and the common threads start to emerge.”
