This movie perfectly lives up to the title. Kinds of Kindness, “abusive forms of kindness, sadistic forms of kindness, and genuine forms of kindness”

I'm still waiting for Jesse Plemons to star in a Philip Seymour Hoffman biopic.

Can we talk how diverse Emma Stone is? Birdman is nothing like La La Land. La la land is nothing like Cruella. Cruella is nothing like Poor things. Poor things is nothing like Kinds of Kindness.

Yorgos is the best thing to come from Greece since democracy

I love the videos but these ads is getting out of control. You spent 3 minutes of an 8 minute video talking about something you prolly could care less about and I’m already paying for RU-vid premium to not have to see ads. Come on bro, there’s gotta be another way to make revenue

I went into the movie just going by what I saw in the first trailer…had NO idea this would be the movie I walk into. Yorgos blew my mind with this one

ScentBird is known for shady practices and an unhinged CEO. Nice one Chris!

My theater was filled with a “young hipster” type crowd. I was very pleased to feel that my whole theater was really digging the movie and there was lot of discussion at the end over what the movie was trying to communicate. With that being said, I don’t really know anyone that I know personally besides myself that would like this movie. Kinds of Kindness is very unapologetically itself and, like Chris said, you can tell Yorgos doesn’t really give a damn if you get it or not. Not a lot of movies come out like this anymore and I’m glad Searchlight is still giving Lanthimos money to do these types of movie

Also liked your work Chris, but 20% of the video being sponsor promo doesn't help

That dinner scene when Jesse Clemens convinces the guests to watch a "video" of his wife to remember her....😮

Jesse Plemons gets to not scare the daylights out of me for once. Unlike what happened in Civil War...

Reminded me alot of killing of the sacred deer. After sleeping on it i find myself wanting to rewatch it asap. I like how versatile of a artist yorgos is

This is the Lanthimost film I’ve ever seen. Loved it!

Chris, I really appreciate your reviews, and have supported your film endeavour, but I have to ask that you please reconsider taking sponsorships from Scentbird, because the founder has said on her RU-vid channel that what Hitler did was great because it was a learning experience for everyone else in the world. My grandfather was a POW at one of the Polish concentration camps, and he was never the same following his experiences there. To have some woman *MY* age say such vile things *hurts*

8 min review where 3 are an ad 🙂👍🏼

3 out of 8 minutes is him talking about scentbird. Seems a bit excessive.

You got me at Eyes Wide Shut

Thought this film was about perfumes. I couldnt believe that 3 minutes of 8 was an ad.

I always expect Kirsten Dunst to be in any movie he’s in 🤔

When you said about the robotic delivery of lines, I was like YES, because the monotone style of dialogue was one of my favourite aspects of Yorgos' earlier films like The Lobster and Killing of a Sacred Deer

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’m still shocked Chris never reviewed Babylon since he loves Hollywood so much. 😦

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.

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...

My girlfriend and I saw it opening night. We knew nothing about it, especially not that it was an anthology film. We were so confused and disturbed and bored, we left after the second part. We spent the next few days talking about it and thinking about it and looking up reviews and talking about it more, then decided we had to go back and watch it again. I can’t say we “loved” it, but something about that second watch just clicked for us. Probably gonna be in our top 5 of the year. REALLY interesting film.

I loved that shirt trick you did! You went from Mario to Pokémon in a flash! Lol

“ wondering if i liked the movie” bro its ok to say u dont like a movie lol

I don’t think this film will be talked about in the future. Stories with lasting power relate to audiences and reward them for looking deeper. These kinds of films do nether. I would argue they reward the creator.

Those ads man…

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.

Dude a 5 minute sponsor for lube is too far, liked and subscribed

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

This is a movie like Enemies, can be it for a deep analisis?

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

Seeing Jesse Plemons again after watching Civil War feels different…

Thank you Chris for another review.

Chris I love you man but we gotta stop doing 3min ad reads to start the video lol

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.

Well done! The effort and passion are evident.

That's crazy. I had no idea this read coming out. I feel like poor things only just came out

Feels like these reviews are an excuse to push ads out from sponsors.

Saw an advanced screening of this last night and went in completely blind. Holy shit.

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 saw what I’m calling ‘Weirds of Weirdness’ last night. Forced killing ✔️ Rape ✔️ Animal abuse ✔️ Cannibalism ✔️ Self-mutilation ✔️ Every woman skinny and wearing nude knickers ✔️ A human liver sloped on the floor ✔️ Need I go on? The thing that ticked me off the most was it was financed by Film 4, which has so little money and this budget could have gone to some brilliant writer/director who never gets funding. The last story if you’re still wasting brain cells on it is about contamination and the victims falling over themselves to be the purified one.

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.

This movie was hard to sit through after the first segment. Should have been a mini-series on HBO or something.

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!

Great review 👏 chris I just wanted to know would you ever do another blu ray collection video.

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”?

Going for the movie today.

As a big fan of "Short Cuts" this sounds great

Someone literally walked out of my theater thinking it was over after the first story ended and the credits popped up

You really did a good job advertising that Scent Bird product bruv 😂🤑🤑🤑💵💰, Cha Chinnng 🤟

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.

More Yorgos!

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.

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 😂

I still have no clue what this is about intrigued though

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.

Every theatre near me seems to only be showing this for like a week or two and then it’s getting kicked out (which kinda sucks)

Chris made me remember the end of the favourite and a lady saying “so stupid”

Noooooooohh~~ noooooohhh~ If you’ve seen the movie. You know what I’m talking about 😂

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.

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!

Yorgos is brilliant. You have to love his work. They are masterpieces.

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.

The review starts at 2:50

LOVE YORGOS. It’s always a shitshow, but an artistic one. Still waiting for you to review the “favourite”

Also, I recommend you watch Lanthimos's short film "Nimic" if you enjoyed this. I won't give anything away, but there are similarities.

Hm, why this movie makes me remember Chris Jenovah witness story

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.

Your shirt changed like halfway through the video lol

Review starts at 2:52

I really liked the 1st and 3rd story

Going to see this for Joe Alwyn and Emma, I’m glad I watched this first so I won’t be as confused.

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.

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.

You’ve called this Kinds Of Scentbird

Defffffinitely wanna see this on the shroom train

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.

*****SPOILER ALERT***** . . . . . Who is this central character you mention at the beginning of the video that connects the three stories? The guy from the car accident? Is he the same guy that gives Liz her prize and then revives in the third story? Because if it’s not him then I’m a bit lost hahaha

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.

Just saw this in the theaters last night, definitely felt the black mirror vibes. Wonderfully weird!

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 NEED/ would love your review/thoughts on "All of Us Strangers" 😆

WIll I , a David Lynch fan, enjoy this?

Chris Stuckmann: Where can I get that PIKACHU shirt?

I just got out of the theater. I'm asking myself the same things. Did I like it? Idk, man.

I don’t know. This is kind of like M Night Shyamalan recent movies - the horror or the bizarre/strangeness work better as TV episodes than as movies. The journey is okay, but the destination is ultimately disappointing…

This wasn't even a review really since you never said what you liked but then also then say what you didn't like whats even the point of this video beyond the sponsorship

I've given up on Yorgos. Life is too short...

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.

%30 of this is a paid in-character promotion of a stupid company.

I'v been watching you for ages and I only just noticed StarFox and Arnold.

I’m so sad this isn’t coming to my local cinema. I live in New Zealand

Chris why am I seeing so much videos of hate dude I mean I guess people are mad at your success
