This week, Derek Miranda (@DerekMiranda85) and Karen Peterson (@KarenMPeterson) have an extra-long talk about KINDS OF KINDNESS.
We also dive into a discussion of the filmography of Yorgos Lanthimos, plus share what else we've been watching lately.
As always, featured reviews are done in two parts, a NON-SPOILER review with letter grade and brief discussion, followed by a more in depth SPOILER review.
PLOT SUMMARY:
KINDS OF KINDNESS is a triptych fable, following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
