Kinds of Kindness is now available for streaming on Hulu, allowing viewers to experience a blend of humor and absurdity from the comfort of their own homes. The film features Jesse Plemons in a particularly outrageous scene where his character watches his own sex tape.

Directed by Oscar nominee Yorgos Lanthimos, Kinds of Kindness is an anthology comprising three shorts, all with Plemons in the lead role alongside a star-studded cast including Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, and Mamoudou Athie. One of the key segments, titled “R.M.F. Is Flying,” centers on Plemons’s character, a police officer named Daniel, who is mourning the loss of his wife, Liz, portrayed by Stone.

In a bid to lift his spirits, Daniel’s friends Neil, played by Athie, and his wife Martha, played by Qualley, invite him over for dinner. Touched by their support and optimism for Liz’s return, Daniel expresses gratitude and suggests they watch an old video together. Despite the evident tenderness of the moment, his friends initially try to dissuade him from what they perceive to be an awkward choice.

Their hesitance only heightens Daniel’s desperation as he pleads to view the tape, claiming it would help him remember his wife. Eventually, after much emotional exchange, his friends agree to watch a bit of what turns out to be a rather explicit sex tape featuring all four actors engaged in an intimate encounter.

As the scene unfolds, the discomfort is palpable among Daniel’s friends, who are confronted with the reality of the tape. Nevertheless, Plemons is enthralled, captivated by the footage of himself and his co-stars. The scene mixes humor with shock, showcasing the film’s signature style of eccentricity.

Overall, Kinds of Kindness promises an entertaining and unconventional viewing experience, filled with both laughter and surprise. It’s an invitation to gather friends for an unforgettable film night, regardless of any potential awkwardness that may arise.
