Kinds of Kindness's reviews
Media reviews
El Mundo
"An unsettling and cruel triptych (...) The almost three-hour film moves across the screen like an exhalation, sometimes hilarious, sometimes repulsive, and always convinced that cinema either hurts or it doesn't".
ABC
"The weaving of the stories is seamless, with intrigue, humour, sass and sordidness (...) it's easy to get caught up in the tons of sass and the punchlines".
The Guardian
"The effect of it all is elegant and overwhelmingly stylish (...) It's heavier and longer than I expected, yet absence and loss are perhaps the key".
The Hollywood Reporter
"It may not at first glance be as coherent as some viewers would like, but the longer you think about it, the more the pieces of the puzzle begin to fit together and the threads of connection begin to emerge".
Variety
"Defying conventional logic and presenting an absurd portrait of modern society, it both captivates and frustrates. It never bores, and yet Lanthimos' extravagant sensibility demands a special kind of patience from the viewer".
El País
"It does not disappoint. Nor does it convince. It is made to displease and discomfort. The problem is that beyond that there's not much else".
Caimán Cuadernos de Cine
"It's a hollow film that works as an acting recital by Emma Stone and fails as a pretentious exercise towards nothingness".
