While summer might be primarily a blockbuster season focused on bringing in as many families as possible, there are also plenty of smaller and awards-centric releases that are coming out looking to carve out a small little corner of the box office and maybe build up some early hype leading into the awards season. Searchlight has been putting out many excellent movies last year, and even though Poor Things doesn't feel that far away, another Yorgos Lanthimos film is right around the corner with Kinds of Kindness. Not only is this movie right around the corner, but Lanthimos is also working with a bunch of people from his previous films, such as Poor Things and The Favourite. This movie will make its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival before its theatrical debut next month, but Searchlight has started marketing the film. Today, the official X/Twitter account shared eight new character posters that are very uncanny valley and that highlight that the cast for this film absolutely rules.
