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.

Ryan Coleman

Slant Magazine

The abstraction is presented with cloying cuteness, the sadism is juvenile and purposeless, and the humor is stomach-turningly glib.

Rated: 1.5/4

Kristen Lopez

Kristomania (Substack)

Lanthimos doesn’t make things easy with an audacious, esoteric exploration of humanity and society.

Justin Chang

New Yorker

The Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos scales back -- but goes long -- with a sprawling, increasingly tedious compendium of comic cruelty.

Fred Topel

United Press International

These are fairly simple stories and stretching them out shows how little substance they had to begin with.

Slashfilm

It may not be the best Lanthimos, but it's certainly the most Lanthimos.

Rated: 8/10

Jillian Chilingerian

Offscreen Central

Part Dekalog, part hipster sketch show, part children’s tall tale, Kinds of Kindness is a deeply comedic return to freak form for Yorgos Lanthimos as he explores the desperation spectrum of co-dependent humanity.
