Yorgos Lanthimos's latest film, 'Kinds of Kindness,' co-written with Efthimis Filippou, has been reviewed by various critics. The film, described as a loosely connected three-part series, features performances by Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Jesse Plemons, and Margaret Qualley. Critics have noted that the film evokes a sense of discomfort, reminiscent of Lanthimos's earlier work, 'Dogtooth.' One review likened the film to a 'tumescent, vacuous rambling,' while another highlighted its focus on control, a recurring theme in Lanthimos's films. The film was reviewed at Cannes and has been described as a callback to the body horror days of 'Dogtooth,' with one critic comparing it to an Allen Ginsburg hallucination.

Our @RagingBells reviewed Lanthimos' Bizarre Triptych Kinds of Kindness in Cannes "overall it plays like a tumescent, vacuous rambling, as if Allen Ginsburg had hallucinated himself into The Twilight Zone and could not, would not, stop talking." https://t.co/thWsapCEDL https://t.co/lgl0emlNeR
