Following the massive acclaim from Poor Things, director Yorgos Lanthimos and Academy Award-winning actress Emma Stone teamed up again for Kinds of Kindness. The cast is stacked, which is to be expected at this point. Besides Stone, Kinds of Kindnessstars other Poor Thingsalumni Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley, plus Jesse Plemons (Killers of the Flower Moon), Hong Chau (Showing Up), Joe Alwyn (Conversations With Friends), Mamoudou Athie (Elemental), and Hunter Schafer (Cuckoo). This time around, however, Lanthimos shifts gears away from his mainstream successes (The Favourite, The Lobster). Kinds of Kindnessis presented as three short films whose stories are connected only thematically. Whether the new approach pays off is up for debate.
If you missed it in the theaters, the film is officially set to make its streaming debut on Aug. 30. Here's what you need to know about how to watch Kinds of Kindnessat home.
What is Kinds of Kindnessabout?
As noted above, Kinds of Kindnessis made up of three distinct, but loosely connected absurdist stories. The all-star cast recurs across each story, playing different roles.
The first story, "The Death of R.M.F.," centers around Robert (Plemons) fighting to take back control of his life from his boss Raymond (Dafoe). Raymond controls every aspect of Robert's life, so when he says "no" for the first time, it leads to dire consequences.
Part two, "R.M.F. is Flying," follows Daniel (Plemons), a quiet cop whose wife Liz (Stone) has gone missing. He's reunited with her under bizarre circumstances, leading him to believe she's an imposter.
And last, part three, "R.M.F. Eats a Sandwich," Emily (Stone) and Andrew (Plemons) are investigators for a cult led by Omi (Dafoe) and Aka (Chau). They're searching the country for a prophesied person with the ability to raise people from the dead, but the search leads Emily back to the life she left behind.
The trailer doesn't give much away as far as the plot goes, but it does give you a dose of the bizarre vibes and stellar cast:
Is Kinds of Kindnessworth watching?
Mashable reviewer Robert Daniels described the film as "prickly, dark" and a return to Lanthimos' "unconventional roots, his older, spikier films like Kinettaand Dogtooth." Critics overall weren't blown away by Kinds of Kindnessbut didn't hate it either. On Rotten Tomatoes, it received a 72 percent critic rating (as of the time of writing).
Audiences, on the other hand, were completely torn. At the time of writing, the film only has a 49 percent audience rating out of over 100 reviews. Some called it one of the weirdest movies they've ever seen.
"Ultimately, Kinds of Kindness circles the drain as more of a thought experiment," our reviewer adds.
Of course, everyone is different and reviews are subjective. You'll have to watch it for yourself to decide whether Lanthimos' latest work is weird in a good way or just plain weird.

But it certainly beats the $95.98 you'd pay by dishing out monthly payments. Plus, you might get lucky and save yourself from inevitable price hikes for a year.
