Kinds of Kindness—Emma Stone’s first movie after winning an Oscar for Poor Things—is coming soon to digital streaming.

Neither the digital purchase nor the 48-hour rental price was revealed by the trade publication. Typically purchase prices are $24.99 and rentals are $19.99.
The logline for the film reads, “Kinds of Kindness is a triptych fable, following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing at sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.”
