Kinds of Kindness | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

It’s a hostile way of telling these stories, but their twisted nature reveals the darker facets of humanity, shedding light on what we’re willing to overlook and embrace for a pittance of love.

... "Kinds of Kindness," in its role as a fable, is a warning and not a declaration akin to stories like "The Favourite" (2018) or the implication of the end of "The Lobster" (2015).

Everything about Kinds of Kindness is carefully honed to be as alienating as possible. It's grotesque. It's incredibly strange. It's very slow and very long. But more than anything, it just begs not to be "enjoyed" in any conventional sense of the word.

Potentially interesting ideas simply can't fill the emotional void at the film's core.

Kinds of Kindness (the title practically drips irony…there’s not much kindness on display here) has been impeccably made but isn’t particularly inviting on either an emotional or intellectual level.
