Idk y’all this movie ain’t about kindness, more like codependency. The things we do to feel ok, when we don’t know or properly esteem ourselves. Been there. I mean appearantly this director did The lobster too. It’s got the same cold and detached feel of that film. I’ll be honest it’s a grind for me. The acting feels clunky, but I think it’s on purpose. And it’s gotta slow but steady pace .
It is interesting in a “let’s make wrong right kinda way” whether it’s (***spoiler ——> ) a guy laying a patient down in the emergency room pull in and then running over him. Or watching a home made sex tape at a friendly dinner party.( ***spoiler over)
The biggest problem for me is in the title, does the film confuse acting out in codependency with kindness? Or does it imply that kind acts always have an ulterior motive? Both I guess are true, people pleasing often leads to less than ideal results. And after all no good deed goes unpunished… if nothing worse we have to live with betraying ourselves to give the people we can’t bare to lose what they want.
