KINDS OF KINDNESS is 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.

Critics Consensus

A cold-hearted triptych brimming with caustic wit, Kinds of Kindness is Yorgos Lanthimos at his most misanthropic -- and bitingly funny.

Lanthimos follows up Poor Things (2023) with some far darker social experiments in this chilling portmanteau featuring brilliant, shapeshifting performances.

“Kindness,” which displays precious little of its title virtue, is a cornucopia of black humor, dark thrills and assorted murders, couplings and things that make you go eeewww.

This is a rewarding, eerie, and unpredictable look at human behavior and the dark lengths to which people will go to win approval or acceptance.

6/10

It says a lot about the skill of Yorgos Lanthimos when even at his most confusing, he can still make a near three-hour movie compelling.

4/5

It’s a serious look at average people navigating a world that all too often feels alarmingly unserious.
