If you're planning on watching the highly anticipated new film Kinds of Kindness, you may want to read this first. Directed by the renowned Yorgos Lanthimos and featuring a star-studded cast including Willem Dafoe, Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone, and Margaret Qualley, this film is already causing quite a stir. In fact, while walking the red carpet at the film's premiere in New York, Plemons himself revealed that the intense storyline may leave viewers feeling a bit queasy.
Kinds of Kindness follows three gripping and thought-provoking stories. The first centers around a businessman named Robert, who blindly follows his boss's every order, including a disturbing request to cause a fatal car crash. The second story features Plemons as a police officer who becomes convinced that his wife, Liz, is an imposter after she returns home from being lost at sea. As his paranoia intensifies, he asks her to carry out increasingly grotesque acts as a twisted test. And in the third story, the couple becomes entangled in a dangerous cult, led by a calm and manipulative pair who run a sexually-charged compound filled with their own tears.
At two hours and 44 minutes long, this film is already being labeled as a psychological horror. It received a 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was praised for its daring and boundary-pushing content. Plemons himself has described the film as "surreal" and "dream-like," but not just for the sake of being weird. He believes that director Yorgos has a unique way of exploring universal themes in a strange but deeply human way.
While Plemons may find the film emotionally charged and thought-provoking, he also acknowledges that it may not be for everyone. He even admits that some scenes may make viewers feel physically ill. However, he also praises his co-stars, particularly Emma Stone, for her fearless approach to her role. Plemons believes that Stone takes her work seriously, but doesn't take herself too seriously, which he finds refreshing.
Despite its unusual and unsettling content, Kinds of Kindness has received positive reviews from many critics. It's been described as "weird and wacky," but also as a film that should be celebrated for its boldness and originality. The Agency, a popular entertainment outlet, even declared that it's a film that may not appeal to everyone, but it's one that should be seen and appreciated nonetheless.
