Julio Torres' film seems madcap and rather slapdash at first, but soon finds its groove as a wonderful and unexpectedly moving meditation on finding your voice as an artist, buoyed by a fantastically frazzled turn from Swinton as the fierce yet loving Elizabeth.
Imagine Franz Kafka directing back-to-back episodes of Black Mirror, and you're somewhere in the twisted wrongverse of Kinds of Kindness, the new anthology film from Yorgos Lanthimos. The provocations are routinely in the worst possible taste, as you'd expect from Lanthimos, and his eye for fucked-up power dynamics remains unparalleled.
