After Oppenheimer, Poor Things went home with four awards this year as the second big winner at the 2024 Oscars. Emma Stone in particular received a lot of attention for her second Award for Best Actress. For the first time she was able to accept the trophy for the musical La La Land.
It’s been less than a month since the Oscars and the dream team behind Poor Things is back with a new film. Director Yorgos Lanthimos, who first worked with Stone on The Favorite, has long since finished filming his new work. First called this And. Now it is titled Kinds of Kindness.

Kinds of Kindness – Teaser (English) HD
Unlike Poor Things and The Favorite, Kinds of Kindness is not a film that tells one big, coherent story. Instead, we’re dealing with an anthology film that… composed of three episodes. Stone and the rest of the cast take on different roles in each episode.
And this cast is definitely impressive. In addition to Stone, two stars are returning were in Poor Things, namely Margaret Qualley and Willem Dafoe. There are also Hunter Schafer, Hong Chau, Mamoudou Athie, Jesse Plemons and Joe Alwyn, who made his Lanthimos debut in The Favourite.
A look behind the camera reveals even more familiar names. Lanthimos simply did it again for Kinds of Kindness his Poor Things team brought together, from editor Yorgos Mavropsaridis to cameraman Robbie Ryan to composer Jerskin Fendrix. The film was shot in New Orleans from October to December 2022.
