​ “FASCINATING AND UNPREDICTABLE” – David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter Be the First to Watch the Dark Comedy at Home When Searchlight Pictures’ Kinds of Kindness is Available to Buy at Digital Retailers on August 27 and Arrives on Blu-ray™ and DVD on October 8 BURBANK, CA (August 6, 2024) – Filled with unpredictability and intrigue, Searchlight Pictures’ Kinds of Kindness arrives on digital retailer platforms on August 27 and on Blu-ray and DVD October 8. From the Oscar-nominated director of Poor Things, Yorgos Lanthimos, the “profoundly hilarious” (David Fear, Rolling Stone) dark comedy features a star-studded cast, led by Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and Willem Dafoe, that has been described as “laugh-out-loud funny” (David Ehrlich, Indiewire) and “bound to baffle and delight” (Peter Debruge, Variety). Kinds of Kindness won the 2024 Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award for Jesse Plemons. Film Synopsis 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.

Haha - I can count on one hand, the number of people on this forum, who will purchase this! And it will be less than the number of people who saw this theatrically! After the ginormous success of Poor Things, and the gradual approach to mainstream arthouse, after The Favourite and The Lobster, old Yorgos goes back to his "difficult auteur phase" of Dogtooth and Alps. I found Kinds of Kindness way - WAY - too long - I only really liked the first part of the triptych. It is crazy, original filmmaking, but watching it once, at the cinema (I was the sole person in the cinema), is quite enough!

Worst film of the year for me and I doubt it will be replaced. And I’m a Yorgos fan!

As you know from our discussion during the theatrical release, I didn't like it either and have no desire to see it again. But there are probably things that are worse than it that neither of us will bother to see.

We usually have similar tastes but I liked this one a bit more than you. I didn’t love it in the “let me go out and buy a copy to own forever and ever” kind of way. To me it felt almost like watching a jazz quartet or a jam band riff on themes. It didn’t feel like it was made to be one for the ages but more about a good filmmaker getting together with a group he likes working with and just knocking one out quick for the fun of it. I enjoyed how bizarre (and sick) it was.

I can appreciate that Josh but for me it was a terminal pretentious insufferable bore. I haven’t hated a film this much in years.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Hey at least it made you feel something. These days I’d rather see a film I wind up hating than one that just bores me towards indifference

Agreed. And it's not seldom I change my mind about a film I disliked upon the initial viewing, when I watch it again. Asteroid City and Furiosa are two that spring to mind. Kinds of Kindness is never boring. It probably would work better for me, if I just skipped the middle part of the triptych - which is actually possible to do in one's own home theatre!
