Comment on “The Cosmopolitans”: A late-summer Parisian confection

Following its eagerly anticipated Cannes premiere, the first reviews for Kinds of Kindness, the second partnership between director Yorgos Lanthimos, and Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, and Margaret Qualley in a year, have dropped online. The new film, which jumps from the steampunk, sci-fi setting of Poor Things to the hyper-sexualised and hyper-stylized modern day, is a triptych narrative, following three interwoven stories.

The filmmaker and star tells IndieWire he's spent $100 million of his own money (so far) to shoot two of his four stories of the Western frontier — to their conclusion, whenever that is, and however much it will cost.

Safdie's solo directorial debut for A24 centers on MMA legend Mark Kerr, portrayed by Johnson.

The coming Peacock, Apple TV+, and Netflix bundle will cost $15 per month.

Cannes: This is an atmospheric but patchy debut with promising bursts of brilliance.

This largely forgotten 1988 biopic of a largely forgotten figure might as well be a portrait of Coppola himself.
