Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are seen in the anthology film Kinds of Kindness from Yorgos Lanthimos.
Kinds of Kindness is an extremely dark, extremely funny horror-comedy that will certainly alienate audiences looking for a light romp. But horror fans will have a great time with this anthology-style film.Emma Stone, second from left, and Jesse Plemons, second from right, are seen in the anthology film Kinds of Kindness from Yorgos Lanthimos.
This first instalment in the anthology is a little long, meandering in its effort to make its point. It can also be confusing and doesn't give audiences much to grab onto in the way of relatable characters or plot.In this first, gentler, short film, Lanthimos is setting the table for the rest of his anthology, and it's worth sticking with it to its outrageous and sinister conclusion.
Margaret Qualley, left, Plemons and Willem Dafoe are part of an A-list cast in the film Kinds of Kindness. The film moves seamlessly from horror to comedy, and it has a clear point of view on our modern ills — from the consequences of capitalism to an unmitigated mental health crisis and a perpetual lack of safety for women.Lanthimos is showing horror fans he knows what scares us in 2024, and he can elicit terror without all the familiar tricks of the genre.
Stone, left, talks to director Lanthimos on the set of Kinds of Kindness, which is out in theatres on Friday. Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone are some of the biggest names in Hollywood right now, so audiences wouldn't necessarily expect to see them in a big summer horror movie.
