I watch Yorgos Lanthimos’ most recent film, Kinds of Kindness like a week ago and I am still in the process of processing it, bit undecided on what to think about it. It is a crazy ride from the beginning to the end with three interrelated plots that made me both curious and got me lost for certain time during the movie. Lanthimos, who is famous for his unconventional approach to film making has come up with a real masterpiece this time depending on who you ask because this is a movie that really have mix opinions on the internet and friend of mine who loves movies as much as I do says he hate it when I'm more in the camp of its an ok ish movie, its a movie that is as strange as it is stimulating. It features Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and Willem Dafoe in lead roles and all the three actors have done a great job of playing different characters in the film. I was watching the movie for close to three hours straight and there were moments when I was completely into it while there were moments that made me scratch my head, its not a movie I would recommend because I know it is not a movie that can be watched by most people because they wont like it that is for sure. It is peculiar, it is twisted and it is certainly not your average mainstream movie.

Over all I would say the ending of the movie try to suggest a cynical view of human actions, consequences of actions driver by desperation, the pursuit of a goal at all costs but only in their own self interest, in short words how things can really screw you up when you are selfish and in a hurry, but again this movie is a bit irrational that I'm not so sure on this one and its my take.
Taking all the above into consideration I would not recommend this movie unless I’m sure that the other person has an interest in this sort of movies, the movie is almost three hours long and that is already a problem for most people and it is not an action movie like LOTR. I am left with a lot of thoughts and feelings, some of which are conflicting Kind of Kindess is undoubtedly a rather peculiar and rather daring film that is not shy of provoking the viewers and making them uncomfortable in their seats while still wanting to know what the fuck link all this stories together, it has extraordinary performances, some of the most shocking moments I have come across in a film in a long time and enough themes to keep one’s mind racing after the film has ended, there were times when I felt like Lanthimos was being weird just to troll everyone who pay to watch this movie, all this is the main reason of my low score, why did it had to be so hard?.
