What a letdown the last episode in an otherwise interesting movie. Kinds of Kindness, by Yorgos Lanthimos, is in fact three movies in one movie. They are starring the same people, namely Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Yorgos Stefanakos, Hong Chau and Mamoudou Athie. The absurd triptych fable includes a domineering boss (Willem Dafoe) and his subordinates (episode:The Death of R.M.F.), a policeman (Jesse Plemons) who thinks that his wife who
was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person now (episode: R.M.F. Is Flying) and a sex cult is looking for a prodigious spiritual leader of a sex cult (episode: R.M.F. Eats a Sandwich). Begs patience for a viewer, but pays off a too little in the end and indulges itself in surrealism too much.
