345 — Kinds of Kindness

This week, Derek Miranda (@DerekMiranda85) and Karen Peterson (@KarenMPeterson) have an extra-long talk about KINDS OF KINDNESS. We also dive into a discussion of the filmography of Yorgos Lanthimos, plus share what else we've been watching lately. As always, featured reviews are done in two parts, a NON-SPOILER review with letter grade and brief discussion, followed by a more in depth SPOILER review. PLOT SUMMARY: 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. Directed by: Yorgos Lanthimos Written by: Yorgos Lanthimos, Efthimis Filippou Starring: Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer *Clip from KINDS OF KINDNESS courtesy of Searchlight Pictures. @TheWatchAndTalk (Twitter/Instagram) Facebook.com/TheWatchAndTalk www.TheWatchAndTalk.com [email protected] Support the show! www.Patreon.com/TheWatchAndTalk
