This was a bold, complex, original triptych of stories that you had no idea where they were going but if you were going in as an established Yorgos fan, you knew you were along for the ride no matter where it took you and man did it just keep taking you! How some of these ideas are came up with is beyond me. It felt very play like, with the three different title cards flashing before each story, like an Act 1, 2 and 3 and all along you’re unintentionally trying to piece together how they all are going to connect and see that there’s one common denominator throughout and then bam, it all does at the end. And the mid credits moment was the perfect “ah ha” payoff where we finally got to see the title of that third story. Loved this film and look forward to a rewatch.
I have no clue why youtubbers dont make charters in their video's and yes i get it they need to plug the ad but still give people an option. I have premium and really hate seeing ad plug ins in video's
This is a movie I can't really rate in numbers or stars, partially because I'm still processing it, but I love it. Lanthimos drops you into a bizarre alternate reality with no exposition, and the only way to make sense of the experience is to open your imagination and probe what must be going on in the writer's head. It doesn't feel messy or nonsensical to me, though, as there's clear themes and similarities with each story, and they all go together well. The stories make perfect sense in the world they exist in, that world is simply foreign to the viewer. Recalling this movie is genuinely like recalling a series of dreams.
Killing of a sacred deer was funnier in my opinion. I enjoyed myself with this new movie tho. As lame as I sound it’s thought provoking it’s challenging and interesting. I k what expect with Yorgos and I’m glad I was given something I totally didn’t expect. I’ll forever support his films. Kinda of Kindness maybe not be my favorite of his but I’m glad he made it and I’m glad I saw it.
I can’t wait to watch this film, I love Yorgos but mostly his older work, my favorite movie of his is The Lobster and I love Dogtooth too like he used to make really good and really weird movies so I hope to feel the same about this one lol
I loved it Yorgos takes a premise about love, power, manipulation and acceptance and takes it to the extreme this movie is brilliant and yorgos dark humor is great people in my theater were enjoying it and got claps 👏 at the end This is one of my favorite yorgos films this is not a film for general audiences you either love it or hate it
I came into this movie completely blind. I had no idea who the director was, I had no idea what the movie was about, I just head some positive buzz about it and the cast is incredible. So, I spent one of my reservations on it. my experience could best be described as Disorienting, but in the best way possible. I was left wondering if the 3 narratives were in any way linked? I was left with so many questions. that said I did enjoy the experience. 11/10. great film.
I saw this tonight in a theatre. For the first time in about 20 years I walked out of the theatre about 30 minutes from the end of the film. I just found it completely and utterly tiresome. I say that as someone that was a huge huge fan of The Lobster and The Favourite. It's just that it's weird in a Yorgos film, it's just weird for the sake of weird, it's too much, it's basically cringe. After enduring the first two mini films I got about 15 minutes into the third one and just decided I was.... Done. I didn't care anymore. I wanted to be doing anything else besides continuing to watch Kinds of Kindness. It was brutal. I love Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons and most of what Yorgos has done but man I just couldn't after a while.
I knew nothing about this movie until I saw Chris' review. The minute he said that it was 3 short films in one was enough for me to go and see it and it was great. Really, really liked it.
I watched it last night with my partner and there was one other person in our theatre. I loved the movie, not as much as the lobster, the favorite or poor things but still a lot. It made me think a lot about what I was watching and I appreciate being challenged in a film. My partner enjoyed it too, not as much as me I think, but I can understand why people may not. After the film, I talked a bit with the other person that watched it and she seemed to find it really interesting too. I hope this film does well enough for Yorgos to embark on more projects like this or even a mini series in this vein.
I was reminded of a line from a show I like where one of the characters reads the review of the film she saw the night before “So I can find out what it was about.” I really liked it and definitely need to go back to it.
This movie was just pure, unadulterated Yorgo Lanthimos through and through in both the best and worst way possible. Which means people who enjoy his filmography will have a blast with it, and those who don’t will most likely end up disliking it. While I didn’t particularly enjoy the second story, it doesn’t really matter much when I still loved the first and kind of enjoyed the second. But the directing and cinematography is great, and all the actors are phenomenal in their multiple roles, especially Jesse Plemmons as the difference between his character in the first and second story was complete whiplash. I didn’t expect to get a new Yorgos film so close after Poor Things, but I’m certainly glad I did. Or at least three short films, technically.
Growing up in rural south it was a strange kick to see these actors/ characters sort of animating through this liminal, nothing spaces. The setting was a character too and somehow drew me into this film. As someone who doesn’t love overtly artsy films I still greatly enjoyed the surrealist tone of this film.
Major Hollywood blockbusters aside, this is my most anticipated movie the summer! Huge fan of Yorgos n was excited to hear that he had an anthology dropping.. it opens Tuesday in my market and I plan to catch it day one! N then the next day going back for Maxxxine.. so hyped!
the movie did fly by even with the time! i was only excited for stories to end because i wanted to know what was going to happen and start the next one. it was a wild and exciting ride and definitely an arthouse film!
Chris Stuckman new video popup on the feed keeps reminding me that such thing as movies still even exist. Can't remember the last time I went to a movie theater...
this kind of reminds me of a quote by branford marsalis on ken burns’ documentary on jazz…”self indulgent bullshit”. “does art exist for the public, or for the artist”?
what's the public exactly? Some sort of faceless mass of undetermined viewers whose specifics don't matter? Is a movie good because any number of people can like it? Is a movie that doesn't appeal to five year olds worse than one that does by default? No actually good movie was ever made by trying to appeal to everybody, that's how nothing burgers get made. A movie genuinely loved by one person is more succesful as art than a movie put on in the bsckground to stave off boredom by a million people
This movie is too artsy for me. I can't sit down and watch it, without thinking it's pretentious. It's like the film is trying to make a statement, but I can't be bothered to figure it out.
The editing of this UA-cam review was not the best. Movie poster flashed on screen for half a second then the ad was clearly shot before hand as the shirt goes from mario bros to pikachu?
I thought it wasn’t as comparable to eyes wide shut, I personally dislike a lot of Kubrick’s work though. Jerskin was the composer for this film and poor things, and his second film ever was kinds of kindness. I loved the movie, the message was more clear of wanting love and praise and wanting to be accepted. It’s so interesting, I told my friend that it seemed the dialogue mimicked a foreign language’s tone and enthusiasm. The words were blunt and straight to the point, there was no imagery in most of the dialogue which for some reason didn’t help with the comprehension. 10/10, a hard watch in the third act with some of the content, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film as a whole.
I didn’t know there are three different stories, I enjoy it more than poor things , but I did saw someone left after the first story, never came back 😂
Watched it a couple weeks ago. It's very much like Dogtooth and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (my personal favourite of his). The themes of abusive relationships are very well handled and some great acting (like chris said, Jesse Plemons is fabulous in the movie) and i did knew about it's structure, but it was really worth it. I loved the first story, that one did have the strongest tie to the themes it presents. The second one is the craziest and while i did like it, it was a little too much for me. The third one was the weakest and it did go on for way too long, but it was still very engaging. A solid 8/10 for me.
While watching this movie, I have come to a realization. I used to think that Yorgos’ work (especially the stilted dialog delivery) being so bizarre, was a result of a man who grew up not speaking English. But now I think this goes far beyond that, I think Yorgos is an alien. All of his films that I’ve seen (everything but Dogtooth) seem to be approximations of the human condition from a far off and misunderstood point of view. I enjoyed the film, but I will not fight anyone who thinks it’s complete bullshit.
how do you mean 'misunderstood point of view'? we as audience dont understand his point of view of humanity or rather he comes from a place of misunderstanding humanity?
Holy shit this movie was wild. I didn't watch any trailers or anything i just knew it was the director of poor things back with Emma Stone so i tried it out. I'm really not into horror, suspense, or awkward tense movies so it was honestly jarring for me. I had to walk out near the end of the second act. I'll finish it at home sometime. Beautifully done film truly a work of art. But I didn't know what i was getting myself into, wish i watched this first and then watched it at home instead of the theater. Great movie just too fucking intense for me in the theater.
I'm from Venezuela and watched the movie in ccs, it was impressive to find functions in here (obvious reasons) however, the room was almost empty and and the middle of the movie, a couple people just laughing about the weirdness of the story, that was kinda cute and annoying at the same time lol. In general I believe this is similar to "Relatos Salvajes" an argentinian movie.
Every movie you review today, is always positive. You don’t want to shit on films anymore, but when a bigger movie comes out, part of a franchise or something getting a lot of buzz, and you don’t review it, we know you think it’s shit. It’s almost worse than not just reviewing the movie.
Exactly! This film reminded me of when I saw MOTHER and this guy stood up and said "what was that?". Then he asked me in the bathroom. So I had to explain. 😆 And the Eyes Wide Shut aspect is right what I was thinking! As well as the choir singing , what was it, like "No!" That was reminiscent to 2001: A Space Odyssey score I believe. I think the director was poking fun throughout. I admire this attempt. But I found it boring. Funny. And worth the money. Lol. That makes no fucking sense. Huzzah!
I don't know if this movie is for me. I review movies too, but I ain't deliberately looking for stinkers to shit on. The sound on my reviews sounds the same as Stuckmann's. I guess I won't buy a new mic after all. Love Chris's reviews.
Because he made a video critical of the studio system resulting in the mess of Madame Web. He didnt even call it a review. Rather a commentary of sorts. Yet the keyboard warriors decided to call him spineless without understanding any of chris' perspectives or arguments. He didnt even call it a review but the nuance was sadly lost
3:35 That woman in the Theater clearly hasn't seen Dogtooth, the first and last movie I saw of Lanthimos until Poor Things. Shitty, out of nowhere endings is kinda his thing
I was okay with this movie. The runtime is definitely too long so people may complain about that. It would have been great if each actor's roles were a reincarnation of the previous ones and karma kicks in towards the third movie.
Chris, on the off chance that you see this - It isn't too late to turn back. Views are down tremendously and it's only a matter of time before sponsors begin to pull out + you've allowed the likes of Critical Drinker and his gang of weirdos to tarnish your name. Do what Kendrick Lamar did and abandon the peaceful moralistic ish. Address Critical and take back your spot as the #1 OG movie reviewer on UA-cam otherwise things will continue to worsen. Don't do this when the channel is completely removed from the algorithm PLEASE
Whoever not seen any previous films by this filmmaker are definitely going to be confused. Since I do know Yorgos Lanthimos’ filmography, this is not that bad. The first two stories were pretty good but the last one was just fucked up. But that ending with Emma Stone dancing was worth the wait.

And the mid credits moment was the perfect “ah ha” payoff where we finally got to see the title of that third story. Loved this film and look forward to a rewatch.
8 min review where 3 are an ad 🙂👍🏼
Does it matter? Just skip it.
Exactly. Just skip it.

I have no clue why youtubbers dont make charters in their video's and yes i get it they need to plug the ad but still give people an option. I have premium and really hate seeing ad plug ins in video's
@@DSFarinhaThey're not allowed to do that. The companies won't allow it. Trust me, bro.
@@DSFarinhaGet UA-cam ReVanced.
This is a movie I can't really rate in numbers or stars, partially because I'm still processing it, but I love it. Lanthimos drops you into a bizarre alternate reality with no exposition, and the only way to make sense of the experience is to open your imagination and probe what must be going on in the writer's head. It doesn't feel messy or nonsensical to me, though, as there's clear themes and similarities with each story, and they all go together well. The stories make perfect sense in the world they exist in, that world is simply foreign to the viewer. Recalling this movie is genuinely like recalling a series of dreams.
“ wondering if i liked the movie” bro its ok to say u dont like a movie lol
Killing of a sacred deer was funnier in my opinion. I enjoyed myself with this new movie tho. As lame as I sound it’s thought provoking it’s challenging and interesting. I k what expect with Yorgos and I’m glad I was given something I totally didn’t expect. I’ll forever support his films. Kinda of Kindness maybe not be my favorite of his but I’m glad he made it and I’m glad I saw it.
what did it provoke you to think about, could you elaborate
Dude a 5 minute sponsor for lube is too far, liked and subscribed
am i too far gone
Seeing Jesse Plemons again after watching Civil War feels different…
What Kinds of Kindness are you?
I can’t wait to watch this film, I love Yorgos but mostly his older work, my favorite movie of his is The Lobster and I love Dogtooth too like he used to make really good and really weird movies so I hope to feel the same about this one lol
Man I miss your old reviews so badly.
I loved it Yorgos takes a premise about love, power, manipulation and acceptance and takes it to the extreme this movie is brilliant and yorgos dark humor is great people in my theater were enjoying it and got claps 👏 at the end
This is one of my favorite yorgos films this is not a film for general audiences you either love it or hate it
You really did a good job advertising that Scent Bird product bruv 😂🤑🤑🤑💵💰, Cha Chinnng 🤟
I came into this movie completely blind. I had no idea who the director was, I had no idea what the movie was about, I just head some positive buzz about it and the cast is incredible. So, I spent one of my reservations on it.
my experience could best be described as Disorienting, but in the best way possible. I was left wondering if the 3 narratives were in any way linked? I was left with so many questions.
that said I did enjoy the experience. 11/10. great film.
Those ads man…
Bros got kids to feed
So do I, but they starving while I'm watching the ads. Lol@JohnMason-ff4tc
yeah but i bet there’s other sponsors that are ethical knocking too
I saw this tonight in a theatre. For the first time in about 20 years I walked out of the theatre about 30 minutes from the end of the film. I just found it completely and utterly tiresome. I say that as someone that was a huge huge fan of The Lobster and The Favourite. It's just that it's weird in a Yorgos film, it's just weird for the sake of weird, it's too much, it's basically cringe. After enduring the first two mini films I got about 15 minutes into the third one and just decided I was.... Done. I didn't care anymore. I wanted to be doing anything else besides continuing to watch Kinds of Kindness. It was brutal. I love Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons and most of what Yorgos has done but man I just couldn't after a while.
That's a shame because the last story was pretty interesting
Selling out before our eyes.
He does since 2022
I knew nothing about this movie until I saw Chris' review. The minute he said that it was 3 short films in one was enough for me to go and see it and it was great. Really, really liked it.
Feels like these reviews are an excuse to push ads out from sponsors.
That's exactly what they are, because every 'review' feels like he's just reading from the wiki page and not saying anything of importance at all.
I watched it last night with my partner and there was one other person in our theatre. I loved the movie, not as much as the lobster, the favorite or poor things but still a lot. It made me think a lot about what I was watching and I appreciate being challenged in a film. My partner enjoyed it too, not as much as me I think, but I can understand why people may not. After the film, I talked a bit with the other person that watched it and she seemed to find it really interesting too. I hope this film does well enough for Yorgos to embark on more projects like this or even a mini series in this vein.
It's a fantastic cerebral film - visceral, dark and provoking. Love, love, love it. Back to the heights of Dogtooth and The Killing of a Sacred Deer.
Chris I love you man but we gotta stop doing 3min ad reads to start the video lol
This movie was hard to sit through after the first segment. Should have been a mini-series on HBO or something.
and called an exercise in degeneracy?
@@andreyzhuchkov1882 much more accurate title lol
I loved that shirt trick you did! You went from Mario to Pokémon in a flash! Lol
Saw an advanced screening of this last night and went in completely blind. Holy shit.
I was reminded of a line from a show I like where one of the characters reads the review of the film she saw the night before “So I can find out what it was about.” I really liked it and definitely need to go back to it.
%30 of this is a paid in-character promotion of a stupid company.
This movie was just pure, unadulterated Yorgo Lanthimos through and through in both the best and worst way possible. Which means people who enjoy his filmography will have a blast with it, and those who don’t will most likely end up disliking it. While I didn’t particularly enjoy the second story, it doesn’t really matter much when I still loved the first and kind of enjoyed the second. But the directing and cinematography is great, and all the actors are phenomenal in their multiple roles, especially Jesse Plemmons as the difference between his character in the first and second story was complete whiplash. I didn’t expect to get a new Yorgos film so close after Poor Things, but I’m certainly glad I did. Or at least three short films, technically.
This one reminded a LOT of alps and I ADORED it, this shot above alps to be my new fave lanthimos
Growing up in rural south it was a strange kick to see these actors/ characters sort of animating through this liminal, nothing spaces. The setting was a character too and somehow drew me into this film. As someone who doesn’t love overtly artsy films I still greatly enjoyed the surrealist tone of this film.
That's crazy. I had no idea this read coming out. I feel like poor things only just came out
Yorgos is brilliant. You have to love his work. They are masterpieces.
LOVE YORGOS. It’s always a shitshow, but an artistic one. Still waiting for you to review the “favourite”
Major Hollywood blockbusters aside, this is my most anticipated movie the summer! Huge fan of Yorgos n was excited to hear that he had an anthology dropping.. it opens Tuesday in my market and I plan to catch it day one! N then the next day going back for Maxxxine.. so hyped!
You’ve called this Kinds Of Scentbird
Noooooooohh~~ noooooohhh~
If you’ve seen the movie. You know what I’m talking about 😂
the movie did fly by even with the time! i was only excited for stories to end because i wanted to know what was going to happen and start the next one. it was a wild and exciting ride and definitely an arthouse film!
Chris Stuckman new video popup on the feed keeps reminding me that such thing as movies still even exist. Can't remember the last time I went to a movie theater...
If you don't look, you don't find.
25% ad
this kind of reminds me of a quote by branford marsalis on ken burns’ documentary on jazz…”self indulgent bullshit”.
“does art exist for the public, or for the artist”?
what's the public exactly? Some sort of faceless mass of undetermined viewers whose specifics don't matter? Is a movie good because any number of people can like it? Is a movie that doesn't appeal to five year olds worse than one that does by default? No actually good movie was ever made by trying to appeal to everybody, that's how nothing burgers get made. A movie genuinely loved by one person is more succesful as art than a movie put on in the bsckground to stave off boredom by a million people
Someone literally walked out of my theater thinking it was over after the first story ended and the credits popped up
Chris has the most random sponsorships
And they're all bad.
Anything and everything that will pay, of course.
aint nothing better than a good can of good ole' lube
This movie is too artsy for me. I can't sit down and watch it, without thinking it's pretentious.
It's like the film is trying to make a statement, but I can't be bothered to figure it out.
The editing of this UA-cam review was not the best. Movie poster flashed on screen for half a second then the ad was clearly shot before hand as the shirt goes from mario bros to pikachu?
I thought it wasn’t as comparable to eyes wide shut, I personally dislike a lot of Kubrick’s work though. Jerskin was the composer for this film and poor things, and his second film ever was kinds of kindness. I loved the movie, the message was more clear of wanting love and praise and wanting to be accepted. It’s so interesting, I told my friend that it seemed the dialogue mimicked a foreign language’s tone and enthusiasm. The words were blunt and straight to the point, there was no imagery in most of the dialogue which for some reason didn’t help with the comprehension. 10/10, a hard watch in the third act with some of the content, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film as a whole.
Going to see this for Joe Alwyn and Emma, I’m glad I watched this first so I won’t be as confused.
I didn’t know there are three different stories, I enjoy it more than poor things , but I did saw someone left after the first story, never came back 😂
The second it was revealed what Stone was eating on the island like 4 elderly ladies in front of me got up and walked right out 😂
Watched it a couple weeks ago. It's very much like Dogtooth and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (my personal favourite of his). The themes of abusive relationships are very well handled and some great acting (like chris said, Jesse Plemons is fabulous in the movie) and i did knew about it's structure, but it was really worth it. I loved the first story, that one did have the strongest tie to the themes it presents. The second one is the craziest and while i did like it, it was a little too much for me. The third one was the weakest and it did go on for way too long, but it was still very engaging. A solid 8/10 for me.
Just saw " Poor Things." Yeah, after watching that, I want to find time to get out to the theater for the first time this year.
Thank you Chris for another review.
Love how he accurately guessed the RT critics and audience scores.
Loved the first and third stories. Second one was decent, but had an odd ending.
While watching this movie, I have come to a realization. I used to think that Yorgos’ work (especially the stilted dialog delivery) being so bizarre, was a result of a man who grew up not speaking English. But now I think this goes far beyond that, I think Yorgos is an alien. All of his films that I’ve seen (everything but Dogtooth) seem to be approximations of the human condition from a far off and misunderstood point of view. I enjoyed the film, but I will not fight anyone who thinks it’s complete bullshit.
how do you mean 'misunderstood point of view'? we as audience dont understand his point of view of humanity or rather he comes from a place of misunderstanding humanity?
Holy shit this movie was wild.
I didn't watch any trailers or anything i just knew it was the director of poor things back with Emma Stone so i tried it out.
I'm really not into horror, suspense, or awkward tense movies so it was honestly jarring for me. I had to walk out near the end of the second act.
I'll finish it at home sometime. Beautifully done film truly a work of art.
But I didn't know what i was getting myself into, wish i watched this first and then watched it at home instead of the theater.
Great movie just too fucking intense for me in the theater.
Also, I recommend you watch Lanthimos's short film "Nimic" if you enjoyed this. I won't give anything away, but there are similarities.
I'm from Venezuela and watched the movie in ccs, it was impressive to find functions in here (obvious reasons) however, the room was almost empty and and the middle of the movie, a couple people just laughing about the weirdness of the story, that was kinda cute and annoying at the same time lol.
In general I believe this is similar to "Relatos Salvajes" an argentinian movie.
The review starts at 2:50
I'd say The Favorite is the most "mainstream" of Lanthimos' filmography and my favorite one for that matter
Every movie you review today, is always positive. You don’t want to shit on films anymore, but when a bigger movie comes out, part of a franchise or something getting a lot of buzz, and you don’t review it, we know you think it’s shit. It’s almost worse than not just reviewing the movie.
Just saw it and I think I get it. I was very surprised how long it was able to keep my interest.
Review starts at 2:52
Going for the movie today.
Chris Stuckmann:
Where can I get that PIKACHU shirt?
THREE MINUTES of ad at the beginning, wtf is this
Exactly!
This film reminded me of when I saw MOTHER and this guy stood up and said "what was that?". Then he asked me in the bathroom. So I had to explain. 😆
And the Eyes Wide Shut aspect is right what I was thinking! As well as the choir singing , what was it, like "No!" That was reminiscent to 2001: A Space Odyssey score I believe. I think the director was poking fun throughout. I admire this attempt. But I found it boring. Funny. And worth the money. Lol. That makes no fucking sense. Huzzah!
Poor Things felt like a Disney movie, but with more sex.
THIS is the Yorgos Lanthimos I love!
This is the second time dafoe has played an overbearing boss while his worker can’t stand him any longer (the lighthouse)
I don't know if this movie is for me. I review movies too, but I ain't deliberately looking for stinkers to shit on. The sound on my reviews sounds the same as Stuckmann's. I guess I won't buy a new mic after all. Love Chris's reviews.
Chris why am I seeing so much videos of hate dude I mean I guess people are mad at your success
Because he sold his soul to Hollywood and refuses to criticize anything
Because he made a video critical of the studio system resulting in the mess of Madame Web. He didnt even call it a review. Rather a commentary of sorts.
Yet the keyboard warriors decided to call him spineless without understanding any of chris' perspectives or arguments. He didnt even call it a review but the nuance was sadly lost
@@aidanlastname0187 you're not very sharp are you?
3:35 That woman in the Theater clearly hasn't seen Dogtooth, the first and last movie I saw of Lanthimos until Poor Things. Shitty, out of nowhere endings is kinda his thing
During one scene I'm thinking "what the fuck"? and a guy behind me shouts WHAT THE FUCK? HAHA
Jesse Plemons looking for all the world like Heston Blumenthal with that shaved head! 4:37
This scentbird commercial kinda slaps.
I was okay with this movie. The runtime is definitely too long so people may complain about that. It would have been great if each actor's roles were a reincarnation of the previous ones and karma kicks in towards the third movie.
Chris, on the off chance that you see this - It isn't too late to turn back. Views are down tremendously and it's only a matter of time before sponsors begin to pull out + you've allowed the likes of Critical Drinker and his gang of weirdos to tarnish your name. Do what Kendrick Lamar did and abandon the peaceful moralistic ish. Address Critical and take back your spot as the #1 OG movie reviewer on UA-cam otherwise things will continue to worsen. Don't do this when the channel is completely removed from the algorithm PLEASE
Almost half this video is an ad read. What a clown
He has bills to pay!
Nearly all his movies have the annoying disjointed robotic dialogue.
Whoever not seen any previous films by this filmmaker are definitely going to be confused. Since I do know Yorgos Lanthimos’ filmography, this is not that bad. The first two stories were pretty good but the last one was just fucked up. But that ending with Emma Stone dancing was worth the wait.
