Emma Stone sparks viewer concerns over shockingly graphic ‘orgy’ scene in new movie

Viewers are calling for a content warning for Emma Stone’s new movie due to a shockingly graphic orgy scene. 

The anthology film, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, recently became available for streaming in the UK on Disney+, catching some audiences off guard with its explicit content.

Kinds of Kindness follows Stone’s character Eloise as she encounters various individuals across different cities.

The controversial scene occurs in the second of the film’s three parts, where Stone plays a marine biologist who was lost at sea. After her return, she engages in an unexpected orgy with her husband (Jesse Plemons) and another couple.

The sudden cut to full-frontal nudity and the intense nature of the scene has left some viewers feeling unprepared. 

One fan commented, “Kinds of Kindness being available on Disney Plus feels weird and unnatural, like seeing a crocodile at the dog park.”

“I mean I’m glad it’s there so I can watch it, but I feel like there should be a warning label or something.”

Another one added, “Why tf is this associated with Disney Plus? It’s too dark and really weird. It’s too much #KindsOfKindness.”

Despite the controversy, Stone has expressed her trust in Lanthimos’ direction. 

At the Cannes Film Festival, she told The Guardian, “I trust him beyond the trust I have had with any director – and I have worked with some great directors. I feel I can do anything with him.”

Stone received numerous accolades last year for her portrayal of Bella Baxter, a woman with the mind of an infant, in Poor Things. The film also drew attention for its depiction of controversial sex scenes.

Kinds of Kindness also stars Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Hong Chau in key roles.

The film is now streaming on Disney+ in the UK.
