Jesse Plemons Shines in Absurd Moments in ‘Kinds of Kindness’

‘Kinds of Kindness‘, the latest dark comedy from Oscar-nominated director Yorgos Lanthimos, is now available for streaming. This film offers a unique viewing experience that includes Jesse Plemons watching a sex tape featuring himself, all from the comfort of his own couch.

This anthology film consists of three shorts, each showcasing different stories with a roster of prominent actors, including Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, and Mamoudou Athie. The second story, ‘R.M.F. Is Flying,’ focuses on Plemons’s character, a cop named Daniel, who is mourning the loss of his wife Liz, played by Emma Stone.

In an attempt to lift Daniel’s spirits, his friends Neil and Martha, portrayed by Mamoudou Athie and Margaret Qualley, respectively, visit him for dinner. The interaction is deeply emotional, highlighting Daniel’s gratitude for their support amidst his grief.

During the dinner, Plemons’s character tentatively suggests watching an old video, which initially prompts discomfort from his friends. Despite their hesitance, they consent to watch the video, leading to a shocking revelation that it features a sex tape involving all three characters.

As the tape plays, the scene becomes increasingly explicit, showcasing a lively orgy involving Plemons, Athie, Stone, and Qualley. The uncomfortable reaction of Athie and Qualley contrasts sharply with Plemons’s enthrallment, emphasizing the absurdity of the moment.

Overall, ‘Kinds of Kindness’ delivers a blend of humor, weirdness, and intrigue, promising audiences an entertaining viewing experience.
