BingeNext's take

If you’re in the mood for a film that blends comedy and drama with a thoughtful, almost fable-like storytelling style, Kinds of Kindness is worth your time. It weaves together three distinct stories: a man struggling to take control of his life, a policeman unsettled by his wife’s mysterious return, and a woman on a quest to find someone with a unique gift destined for spiritual greatness. The cast is impressive, featuring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, and Willem Dafoe, which adds depth to the intriguing characters. At nearly three hours long, it’s a slow burn that invites you to sit with its strange, sometimes unsettling atmosphere, perfect for viewers who appreciate films that make you think and feel in equal measure. If you liked movies like Eyes Wide Shut or Crash, this one might resonate with you, offering a mix of mystery, emotion, and a touch of the surreal.
