Summary

"Kinds Of Kindness" had its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for Academy Award-nominee Yorgos Lanthimos' writing, direction, and the performances from the cast (including Jesse Plemons, who won the Best Actor prize at Cannes for his work in the film). Stars Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Lanthimos were all kind enough to spend some time talking with me about the anthology film, which you can listen to below. Please be aware of spoilers and be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Searchlight Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy!
