Photo by Yorgos Lanthimos is back with another thought-provoking film, ‘Kinds of Kindness’, which offers a triptych of tales that are loosely connected by their themes of desperation and control. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Emma Stone, who shines in her multiple roles, and Willem Dafoe, who brings his signature intensity to the screen.
The mastermind behind ‘Kinds of Kindness’
The film is divided into three stories, each with its own unique tone and style. The first, ‘The Death of R.M.F.’, sets the stage for the rest of the film, introducing us to the complex characters and their intricate relationships. Emma Stone plays Rita, a woman who becomes embroiled in a bizarre agreement with her employer, Raymond (Willem Dafoe).

The second story, ‘R.M.F. Is Flying’, takes a darker turn, exploring the themes of obsession and control. Jesse Plemons plays Daniel, a police officer who becomes convinced that his wife, Liz (Emma Stone), is not who she seems to be. As the story unfolds, we are drawn into a world of paranoia and suspense.

The final story, ‘R.M.F. Eats a Sandwich’, is perhaps the most surreal of the three, featuring Emma Stone as Emily, a member of a spiritual cult. The film’s absurdity reaches new heights in this segment, but somehow, it all works.
