- Synopsis:
- Kinetta... a desolate Greek resort town, inhabited during the off-season by migrant workers. In this colourless setting, the film studies the cryptic activities of an inscrutable trio: a plain-clothes cop with a passion for cars, tape recorders and Russian women; a loner clerk who is a part-time photographer; and a hotel maid with aspirations to be an actress. They barely speak, passing the time by staging outlandish re-enactments of local murders. Their efforts are obsessive, the details exhaustive, their purpose... questionable. .

abstract and self-indulgent - Kinetta review by DC
The plot is quiet simplistic with the stress more on the inter-actions of the actors to (unimportant) events but by the end of the film I couldn't say that I neither knew nor understood what drove any of these characters. Visually the film is flat and unimpressive. The sequence of events and the characters undoubtedly significant to ditector Lanthimos but not to many people.

not the favourite - Kinetta review by MB
Yes he went on to direct the amazing Dogtooth, the ok Lobster, the creepy and brilliant Killing of a Sacred Deer and then win a bleedin' oscar with The Favourite, but this is aimless dross. Hardly any dialogue, no discernible plot, I tuned it off half way through.
