After hitting theaters in June, Yorgos Lanthimos’s latest deranged film will soon be available to watch from home. “Kinds of Kindness” will release on digital platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV+ on Aug. 27, and on Blu-ray/DVD on Oct. 8.

The film, which premiered at Cannes Film Festival in May, is a triptych of increasingly off-kilter storylines — following “a man without choice who attempts to take control of his own life, a policeman whose wife seems like a different person after being lost at sea and a woman who is in search of someone with a special ability,” according to its logline. The star-studded cast includes Lanthimos favorite Emma Stone, who last starred in the director’s Oscar-nominated “Poor Things,” alongside Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Mamoudou Athie, Joe Alwyn and Hunter Schafer — playing a new set of roles in each chapter. (Yorgos Stefanakos’ character RMF appears in all three parts.)

The digital and physical release will feature bonus content, including a featurette titled “Takes All Kinds: The Vision of Kinds of Kindness,” in which the cast and crew offer a behind-the-scenes look at the film’s costumes, cinematography and music, in addition to deleted scenes.

The film was met with mixed reviews from critics upon its festival debut, with many agreeing that the film was too strange, even for a director best known for his unhinged storylines. But for some, the strange worked with Variety film critic Peter DeBruge writing in his review that Lanthimos “keeps you squirming for nearly three hours in a biting power parody,” striking “a rhythm that’s totally distinct from that of other filmmakers, creating tension less from suspense than surprise.”
