Why to watch
- 'Kinds of Kindness' delivers shock and awe
- When: 'Kinds of Kindness' is in select theaters June 21 and “kind of everywhere” June 28.
- What to know: The film is a “triptych fable” that tells three distinct stories about characters seeking control.
- Director Yorgos Lanthimos is known for his bizarre movies like Poor Things and The Favourite.
- The cast is stacked: Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn and Mamoudou Athie embody three different roles across the nearly three-hour film.
- “Kinds of Kindness opens with Eurythmics' 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),' and its verse, to me, basically previews the plot of the movie without the viewer even knowing it,” entertainment editor Alexis Shaw told me. She’s right.
- Why I’ll be watching: You better believe I’ve already seen it, but I’ll be headed back to the theater to decode any plot points I missed. To quote Alexis, it’s “a puzzle to be figured out.”
