Kinds of Kindness

2024

★★★½ Liked Watched

Finally got around to watching this but still not having seen poor things. 

It’s a vibe. Weird in a good way. Horny in a weird way.

Flow

My son has wanted to watch several times since we’ve first watched it. 

This time taking note of just how many studio headers are in the beginning. More than most. 
Here are some that I wrote down. Possibly more. I think I missed some:

Sideshow 
Janus Films
Dire
UFO
Charades
Canal +
Cine+
Arte 
Eurimages 
Rtbf 
Region sound
Sacreblu 
Take five
Dream well

At least in this movie it doesn’t list all the studios again right after in the beginning credits like in most others.

Liam Neeson’s hair gets shorter and cleaner as the plot gets thicker and weirder.

The last time I saw this was at the New Bev. So bad-ass. 

You wanna see James Caan not give any fucks and crack a safe with a giant sparkler? Don’t miss this one.
