Across three individual stories, a man seeks to break free from his predetermined path set forth by his superior , a cop questions if his wife is truly his wife after her return from a supposed drowning, and a woman searches for an extraordinary individual prophesied to become a renowned spiritual guide., it's a mark of confidence that Yorgos Lanthimos would put out something like 'Kinds of Kindness' as a follow-up.

For Lanthimos, these are familiar ideas. 'The Lobster', 'The Killing Of A Sacred Deer', and 'Dogtooth' all covered similar themes with the kind of surrealist, absurdist inclinations that make up the Greek Weird Wave. It's not so much that he's repeating himself, because he is, but it's more that 'Kinds of Kindness' never quite makes itself known.
