Emma Stone's New Movie 'Kinds of Kindness' Debuts to Her Second-Highest Rotten Tomatoes Score Ever

In a dimly lit room, Emma Stone sits in a chair, contemplating her latest collaboration with acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos. Their new film, "Kinds of Kindness," has just premiered and is earning the Academy Award-winning actress another stellar Rotten Tomatoes score.

"Kinds of Kindness," an absurdist black comedy anthology film presented in three segments, marks the third time Stone and Lanthimos have worked together, following the critical successes of "The Favourite" and the Oscar-winning "Poor Things." The new movie, which features an ensemble cast including Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Hong Chau, has received widespread critical acclaim, earning a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This impressive score makes "Kinds of Kindness" the second-highest-rated movie of Stone's career on the review aggregator site, trailing only the 93% rating for "The Favourite." The new film's rating also continues Stone's impressive run of eight consecutive Fresh-rated movies, dating back to her Oscar-nominated performance in 2016's "La La Land."

Stone's transition into behind-the-scenes production, as well as her penchant for darkly humorous storytelling, have only amplified the anticipation for "Kinds of Kindness." The actress has carved out a niche in complicated, layered, and offbeat projects, most recently with the exciting A24 films "I Saw the TV Glow" and "Problemista."

With "Kinds of Kindness" set to be released in the United States on June 21 and the United Kingdom on June 28, the film's experimental format and star-studded cast could propel it to success, both in theaters and on streaming platforms. Regardless of the box office results, the critical acclaim for this latest collaboration between Stone and Lanthimos is a testament to the actress's continued growth and her willingness to take on challenging, boundary-pushing roles.
