#179 - Kinds of Kindness

But Is It Good?

This week, we're venturing into the strange and intriguing world of Kinds of Kindness! From the delightfully unconventional mind of Yorgos Lanthimos, this latest film features a stellar cast, including Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Hong Chau. In this unique story, we find ourselves in a society where acts of kindness come with unexpected and often unsettling consequences. Lanthimos, known for his offbeat and thought-provoking narratives, crafts a tale that blends dark humor with a sharp critique of societal norms. As the characters navigate their increasingly bizarre and morally complex world, the true nature of kindness—and its hidden costs—comes to light. Join us as we unravel the layers of this unconventional film and explore Lanthimos’s signature blend of absurdity and insight. Does Kinds of Kindness manage to captivate with its unique vision, or does it get lost in its own eccentricity? And amid the darkly comedic twists and profound observations, we ask… But Is Kinds of Kindness Good?
