Kinds of Kindness | Searchlight | June 21, 2024 | Lanthimos' newest movie

[Jake Gittes]

As long as it's not like Alps or The Killing of a Sacred Deer (a movie I admittedly should give another chance) I'm good.

Starts at 100%, 9 reviews

Considering the Bunuel comparisons, and the highly bizarre and uncomfortable reactions, this seems great. 
 

Probably the strongest reception so far at Cannes competition 

 

Curious to see Yorgos coming back to his shock early vibes

Reading up on some of the stuff in this... I sorta get why Thomas Newman ultimately wasn't deemed a great fit

[Mad Max007]

Emma Stone might just have the best career in Hollywood!

I wasn't a fan of Lanthimos' last few films but I really liked this. Quite a few walkouts in the Grand Théâtre Lumière (after somewhat graphic scenes).

Very happy for Plemons, he deserves more recognition for some time now 

 

Insane that this is like the 7th movie in a row from Yorgos premiering at Cannes / Venice and all of them won a prize

Good trailer.

To be fair, he did get a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nom not long ago.

Here in Greece this just had a very strong 2nd weekend (dropped only 22%) and it has already surpassed Killing of a Sacred Deer in ticket sales and soon will surpass Dogtooth - it has sold ~50K tickets. For context, Dogtooth sold 65K, The Favourite around 220K and Poor Things over 420K (these are huge numbers for Greece).

Maybe ~150k tickets in the end then

 

Seems very big for this kind of movie, nice

Anyone know what the rollout plan is for this? Or is Searchlight just waiting to see how it does for its limited opening? 

[AniNate]

I just know Cleveland's Cedar Lee gets it June 29, Akron's Nightlight the following week

I have really enjoyed Yorgos's previous films but I hated this. Patience testing. Not funny and not interesting. The second film is decent, the first and third are insufferable.
