Exploring Yorgos Lanthimos' Creative Limits in 'Kinds of Kindness'
Entertainment | June 21, 2024, 12:03 p.m.
Yorgos Lanthimos, known for his darkly comedic films, seems to be losing his touch with his latest movie, 'Kinds of Kindness'. The film, featuring three twisted fables set in the present day, explores themes of control and domination through repeated storylines and characters played by the same actors. While Jesse Plemons shines in his multiple roles, the movie falls short of Lanthimos' previous successes like 'The Favourite'. With a runtime of two hours and 45 minutes, 'Kinds of Kindness' fails to captivate audiences with its repetitive shock value and lack of originality. Lanthimos' once sharp and distinctive vision appears to be running on fumes, leaving viewers feeling drained and unsatisfied. Overall, 'Kinds of Kindness' comes across as a lackluster and uninspired addition to the director's portfolio, failing to deliver the sharp wit and engaging storytelling found in his earlier works.
